Swindon: Coate Water Splash Park renovation work underway

Images of the new splash park were revealed to the public on Tuesday, showing a sloping design that allows wheelchair users to access the children’s pool.

The splash park will also include rumble strips, railings and interactive elements located outside the main water feature.

The changes were agreed after a survey and focus group were carried out last year.

Mr Watts, who is responsible for environment and transport at Swindon Borough Council, said inclusivity was a “big part of the feedback”.

“We looked to see if people wanted a children’s pool or a splash park and ended up with a hybrid that would hopefully meet both needs,” he told BBC Radio Wiltshire.
