Get soaked at the new Hersham Splash Pad

The new splash pad within the Hersham recreation ground, which can be enjoyed in the summer months, will be officially opened by The Mayor of Elmbridge, Councillor Jan Fuller, at 10:00 tomorrow. This recent addition to the recreation ground is made up of seven water features built into the surface, and is designed for children 12 years and under to enjoy super soaking fun in the sunshine. After some final tweaks, the splash pad is now fully operational and proving to be very popular with local families. The automatic sensors mean that the splash pad only operates when visitors stand on the activation pads and therefore energy will not be wasted on colder days when no one is using the facility. Issues with replenishing the water tank at specific time intervals have now been sorted enabling short breaks when children can use the other equipment in the park or simply spend a quieter time to gather some energy for their next splashing session.
