New water play facility set for Rotherham

Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council is working with Ustigate Waterplay on a new water play facility, which is set to open at the town’s Clifton Park for the 2025 season.

Originally created in 2008 as part of a Heritage Lottery Funded project, the waterplay area has been a firm favourite among children and families for the last 15 years. The environmentally friendly revamp will now bring the park back to life.

The new £900,000 facility – delivered by Ustigate – will include enhanced safety standards and modern, interactive equipment, which will encourage imaginative and active play. Improved accessibility will ensure all children can enjoy the space, which will encourage learning about water conservation and the environment.
