Water park and paddling pools reopen for summer

Paddling pools and a water park have reopened for the summer season, a council has said.

Exeter City Council said the paddling pools at Heavitree Pleasure Ground and the Splashpad in St Thomas Pleasure Ground reopened at 10:00 BST.

The authority said: "The Splashpad was fitted with a newly improved spongy safety surface last year. Children can enjoy the fun water park with its colourful play area and jets of water."

The council added the facilities would open until 19:00 throughout the summer.
