With the pause in the lifting of COVID restrictions, the opening of the Splash Park is also on hold until July 19th at the earliest provided that the Government Roadmap out of Lockdown is on track at that point. We will carefully monitor that and review plans accordingly.
The Leys splash park operates with unchlorinated water and is housed within the adventure play area in close proximity to the play equipment which means that it doesn’t allow for safe social distancing following the current government guidelines for Covid-19.
We know that this is disappointing and Witney Town Council is looking forward to being able to reopen this facility as soon as restrictions allow. The splash park has been commissioned and all testing carried out so it is ready to go as soon as we have the green light.
