Play areas

We provide over 150 play areas around the borough offering a range of experiences for children. Our play areas are inspected regularly to ensure the equipment is in good working order and that hazards are kept to a minimum.

Eastrop Paddling Pool and Chineham Park Splash Pad

We are busy preparing our paddling pool at Eastrop Park and our splash pad at Chineham Park in Popley ready for opening in the spring and summer months.

While we carry out this work, please do not attempt to use them until they are officially open. The water is highly chlorinated and may cause skin and eye irritations.

We will provide updates on this page and our social media channels.
