The park will have a range of water features
A project to transform a former lido into a splash park in a Cambridgeshire town has reached its final stages as the opening has been confirmed. St Neots Splash Park on Huntingdon Road is now in its final stages before opening.
The new splash park will be based at the site of the former St Neots Lido, which operated from 1961 until 2003. The Independent Professional Playground Safety Inspection has been successfully completed, with final commissioning scheduled for the week commencing April 27.
In the latest update, St Neots Aquatic and Leisure have confirmed a soft opening set for May 2, on the bank holiday weekend. Plans for a formal opening event are still being finalised and will be announced shortly.
The park will have a range of water features for families to enjoy. This includes a hydro blast which shoots up a tall stream of water, aqua tent where water flows in a dome, water arch, and a mixture of jets.
Plans were first submitted to Huntingdonshire District Council in 2022 to build the splash park. Construction began last year.
A spokesperson for St Neots Aquatic and Leisure said: The St Neots Splash Park on Huntingdon Road has successfully completed its Independent Professional Playground Safety Inspection, with final commissioning planned for the week commencing 27th April.
“A soft opening is currently planned for 2nd May, giving local families the first opportunity to enjoy this new inclusive outdoor play space. Details of the formal opening will be announced shortly.”
