THE 2025 SEASON OF THE VICTORIA PARK ATTRACTION HAS FACED DELAYS IN LAUNCHING AFTER IT SHUT EARLY IN 2024 18:57, 31 May 2025 It seems like the children of Cardiff have been waiting ages for

the news that the popular splashpad at Victoria Park to reopen for the 2025 season. After the 2024 run was cut short due to a technical difficulty, earlier this month Cardiff Council

confirmed that the opening of the Cardiff splashpad would delayed for this summer. Cardiff Council were unable to give an exact opening date for the Canton splashpad but just weeks after the

delay was announced the park's attraction is now operational. The uncertainty over the reopening for 2025 was due to a delay in the manufacture and delivery of parts from Italy. In a

statement given to Walesonline by a spokesperson for the council was on May, 15, they said the reopening was going to be a "little later," but it seems the Victoria Park attraction

has got going sooner than expected. In an update at the park itself the opening hours of the splashpad, weather permitting, are as follows: * Monday - Friday - 12pm to 7pm * Weekends - 10am

to 7pm And in the summer holidays the splashpad will open from 10am every day. The Victoria Park splashpad is located within the park that has multiple attractions that are perfect for the

summer time. Within the park there are tennis courts, beach volley ball, a multiuse games area, kiosks and the splashpad. There is also a new outdoor exercise facility being built at the

park with outdoor exercise stations. The £485,000 facility opened for the first time in 2016 on the site of the former paddling pool in the Canton park. The splash pad has 33 fun features

for children to enjoy and is often a busy attraction for families during the late spring and summer. Located in the middle of the Grade II-listed park, the splash pad features water sprays,

jets, and a giant tipping water bucket. Set across three separate zones, the splash pad has been designed for toddlers, juniors, and families. Last year after technically difficulties the

splashpad was closed for visitors for two weeks. After opening in May 2024, the splashpad was closed for a fortnight in August. At the time Cardiff Council stated that they had experienced a

"complete failure" of some of its pumps, which couldn't be replaced on time. Article continues below
