Designs for the new splash park at Coate Water have been unveiled by Swindon Borough Council.
The splash park will cost £475,000 and is expected to open in time for the summer.
The design takes on board community feedback, following a survey and a focus group held last year. The park will feature a paddling pool, water features and games.
The new facility is designed to be fully accessible with the use of flat surfaces and a slope to allow wheelchair access into the paddling pool, rumble strips, handrails and interactive elements located outside of the wet zones.
Cllr Chris Watts, Cabinet Member for the Environment and Transport, said: “I’m very happy to see work on the new splash park get underway.
“We knew the old offering was outdated and in need of significant repair so the best option was to demolish it and build a brand-new facility for the people of Swindon.
“This new area will be fully accessible and we want to get it open in time for the summer holidays so families can take full advantage of the, hopefully, nice weather.”
