Swindon Borough Council have revealed that the new splash park at Coate Water will open this summer despite a delay caused by customs.

A council spokesperson said: "We’re incredibly excited to open our new splash park this summer and we’re making good progress.
"At the moment, our contractor has re-laid the concrete surface and re-installed the pipe work and drainage.
"However, we’re still waiting for the soft flooring surface, which has come from Spain, to arrive on site.
"It’s currently being held in customs and we’re working hard with our suppliers and contractors to get it to Swindon. This means we’ll be opening slightly later than planned but the splash park will still be open for children to enjoy this summer.
"We’ll update on a specific opening date as soon as the flooring is in Swindon. We’d like to thank you for your patience and we promise it’ll be worth it when it opens."
