Town Council’s Quarry Splash Park Winter Closure

Shrewsbury Town Council’s award-winning Splash Park in the Quarry has been a massive hit with children of all ages once again this summer.

The “Darwin’s Islands of Adventure” splash and play areas have been extremely popular with families from across the region throughout the hot summer months.

The Town Council will be closing the Splash Park for the winter from Monday, October 3. The play area will remain open.

Helen Ball, town clerk for Shrewsbury Town Council, said: “We are delighted that our facilities in the Quarry have been well used once again this summer, especially in the hot, dry weather we have experienced. Whilst here have been a few mechanical problems, we have been able to them fix quite easily.

“As we start to approach autumn, we do need to close the Splash Park to enable us to give the water features their winter overhaul before being stored away until next spring. Our last day for the Splash Park will be Sunday, October 2, and so whilst the weather forecast isn’t going to be too warm for the rest of the week, people can come along and enjoy the facilities whilst they can.

“We look forward to re-opening the Splash Park next spring and hope that many more people will be able to have fun at our award-winning splash pad.

“We will publish the new season’s opening date on our social media platforms nearer the time, so I would encourage people to look out for the details next spring.”
