Water jet wet play area finished in Brockwell Park?

[mothercourage]

Just wondering if the revamped paddling pool is ready in Brockewell Park? Does anyone know as it would be a great place to go today. If not, is there anywhere similar? My kids are desperate to get involved with some water today.

Cheers.

There are some jets outside the chumleigh gardens cafe in burgess park!

[ceebeebee]

Anyone know if the other water play areas are operating yet? Sydenham Wells and Myatts fields?

[Fuschia]

Usually May isn't it?

Ruskin was dry on Monday.

Not sure the council wheels can spin that fast in response to good weather!

Myatt's Field jets weren't on yesterday.

We get No 40 bus to London Bridge and go in water fountains near The Scoop. Bit busy there by lunchtime today.

Or - go over Waterloo bridge to Somerset House and go in water fountains there.

There are loos in Somerset House - and a cafe (bit expensive) if you want a cup of tea. Get there by 10 and the place is virtually empty. We always get one of the tables and chairs.

Any answer on Brockwell park?

[prdarling]

Anybody???????

Thinking of taking the kids over there today but need to manage expectations... if we get there and it's empty I'll be in big trouble

you could try calling the parks info number 020 7926 9546

sorry for the late response, but as you've probably already found out Brockwell's new paddling pool isn't open yet and judging from all the equipment still around there opening day looks to be quite a while off unfortunately! Looks like it's going to be really nice though!

Seem it is open now and sounds great!

[womanofdulwich]

i walked past it today. looks more like a beach to me, a dismal amount of water - why couldnt they leave it as a paddling pool?

[findandynow]

Gosh - everyone's a bit downhearted! The water park is unbelievably good. It's open, it's free and the kids are having an amazing time in there. There wasn't quite enough water in there before, but they've tweaked that and there's so much for kids to do. Check it out!

[kittysailing]

Its fantastic - rally well designed, safe and lots of fun. My 18 month year old loved the pump and the sluice gate. The stream is lovely for little ones!

[sparkly]

totally agree - went there on Sat and my little ones absolutely loved it - a very good water/ sand play area. Also - they are putting one in at Norwood park and the Croydon road recreation ground now has a paddling pool (not as nice as Brockwell park) but also a bouncy castle!!

Does anyone know if it's open week days & whereabouts in the park it is?

[crystal7]

We went yesterday- was fab! Think it's open every day. You need to walk up the hill towards the cafe, pass the cafe then turn left down the hill and its on the left. That's assuming you're going through the main gates in Herne Hill...

[buggie]

Thank you! Weirdly last msg looked like it hadn't posted when I looked on my phone thus the duplicate - doh!

[bluesuperted]

Yes it's been open a while and is fabulous. I walk up in roughly a straight line past tennis courts from Lido. There are sign posts and it's at least a 5 min walk from there. Have fun!
