Splash Park

The Splash Park in Verulamium Park is great fun for kids up to about the age of 10. It is switched on for most of the summer although it only really is used on sunny days. On a hot Saturday afternoon it can be packed. There are several pipes and things that spray water at the kids, some shooting up from the floor and some from above. It’s really good fun.
The only negative point is that the toilets are quite a way away so you can’t really leave some children playing to take another to the loo. There is parking near the leisure centre in the south-​east corner of the park.

The splash park has been put in to replace the old swimming pool. Its very near to the Inn on the park. There is also a duck pond that one can visit and you can stroll up to the hypocaust near the playground.
The splash park is a great day out for families with children.

The Splash Park down at the Verulamium park is a water activity centre with some of those great plumbing contraptions which soak everything within a 5 meter radius and more importantly, manage to keep kids the amused.
If it’s a nice summer’s day (and how rare are those these days?) then there’s no better place to be with your kids. Better still there’s a good café not more than a few hundred yards away to get lunch in, if you haven’t packed your picnic.
I’d thoroughly recommend it. It’s clean, well-​maintained and is a well utilised strategy for St Albans parents!
