New splash park for The Leys in Witney

Witney Town Council appointed Ustigate Waterplay to refurbish the splash park at The Leys in Witney, with the project completed prior to the school holidays.

Following a water sequence, the water play requires a child to jump on the activation pad to re-start the flow. This procedure enhances the interactive experience as well as conserving water and electricity because the water play will only be in operation when a child is pushing the button to play.

Inclusive and accessible features include wheelchair friendly above ground features, fountains and ground sprays. There is also an area that allows water to temporarily pool with a weir for children to enjoy flow play. The water features and the rainbow themed surfacing were selected by Witney’s community during public consultation.

It is also more environmentally friendly. It now uses less water and the water is captured after play, to irrigate plants and flowers in town.
