 In the 1980s, the lido (the successor of the open-air swimming pool) was closed, and in the 1990s the paddling pools were also closed due to fears of water pollution in the River Sheaf, which fed the pools.In 2010, Splash Waterplay was opened, completing the renovation of the old Lido area.This now incorporates a traditional and adventure play area, skate park and Splash area.
