Due to demand, Maldon’s Splash Park will be open throughout September.

Maldon District Council has decided to extend the opening of the attraction following its popularity during the summer.

It will be open every weekend until the end of September.

Councillor Ron Pratt, chairman of the council’s Community Services Committee, said: “We are delighted to announce that we are extending the Splash Park operation for an extra three weekends in September so that even more visitors can have some splashing fun.”
