Raring2go! PLACES TO GO 24 raring2go .co.uk 5 places to splash around and cool off this Summer When the sun is shining what could be better than splashing around at one of our local water parks or having some fun on the water? Here are some suggestions for you to try – including some that are even OK when the British weather isn’t on our side! Paddling pools and splash pads You’ll find paddling pools at St Nicholas park, Warwick and Stratford-upon-Avon Recreation Ground which are perfect for younger children. Or you could try War Memorial Park, Coventry which has 36 water jets and a range of other water features to splash around in during the school summer holidays. 1 Outdoor swimming pools As well as the indoor pool, Abbey Fields, Kenilworth has an outdoor pool which is open during the Summer months and the Droitwich Lido has a wet-play area alongside the main pool. 3 Messing about in boats If staying on top of the water is more your thing, you could try canoeing, kayaking or bellboating or even take a guided canoe tour on the canal with Ackers Adventure, Birmingham. Why not hire a pedalo at St Nicholas Park, Warwick or visit Heart of England Conference and Events Centre, Fillongley where you can hire a pedalo, paddle board or kayak? 4 Aqua Parks Over the past few years, inflatable aqua parks have become massively popular with older children. If you are looking to don a wetsuit and head out for an adventure there are plenty of local places to try from Aztec Adventure, Bromsgrove to Cliff Lakes, Warwickshire or perhaps challenge yourself on the Aqua Jungle at Spot-on Wake, Henley-in-Arden. 2 Adrenaline fuelled fun Waterworld, Staffordshire is the UK’s number one Tropical Indoor Aqua Park. There is plenty to do for all ages, weak and strong swimmers. More locally, The Wave, Coventry offers something for thrill, spill and chill seekers of all ages to enjoy. 5
