Brockwell park fountains and paddling pool - is water on??

[TaraCrowe]

Hi

The water was on a couple if weeks ago when weather was less good but someone just told me it was switched off last weekend. Has anyone been there this week? Is there water in the fountains now?

I want to take my daughter - but it is a fair way away if there is no water...

Please advise....

Thanks

anyone anyone? Maybe its on and no one is there and its peaceful and clean and flowing with fresh water as we all think its off? I'm going to try and track down a phone number for a park attendee tomorrow and see if I can find out...as don't want to make the journey on a hot day and be disappointed.

I saw a tweet yesterday from brockwell park community partners which linked to their website - not sure how to do a link but it said there was a burst pipe and I think it was supposed to reopen today. Suggest you have a look at that, don't want to get anyone's hopes up!

We were there yesterday and it was on !!

Ok just got thru to a very nice lady at Lambeth parks services ( [email protected] or tel: 0207 926 9000, option 4 and then option 3).

She advised that Brockwell burst water pipe is fixed - yeah!

It's not at full capacity yet ( her words) as the water pressure is still lower - the jets are more like a slow shower than a power shower jet) but each day will see the capacity increase to full by the end of the week.

Myatts has a serious issue and may be out of order for some time and she is seeking an update on this.

I asked that she update the forum directly and she is going to discuss this with her manager to seek authorisation as it would be a good centralised area to gain an update. No reported issues with Ruskin park.

Hope this helps everyone !

Enjoy the sun :)
