WORK is set to begin on the refurbishment of two of the district’s paddling pools.
The pools in St Nicholas Park, Warwick and Victoria Park, Leamington. will benefit from a much–needed upgrade, including non-slip surfaces, improved pool surrounds, jets and fountains with free-standing shades, and benches around the outside for parents, creating a cleaner, safer environment for families to enjoy.
Work will start from Monday (February 10) with anticipated completion in early summer.
Warwick District Council’s contractors will ensure that the impact to park users during the construction is minimum, though visitors should expect some construction noise and traffic.
WDC’s neighbourhood spokesperson Coun Will Roberts said: “We know how popular and well-used our paddling pools are in Victoria Park and St Nicholas Park, and we’re excited to be able to upgrade these much-loved and free to use facilities for our residents. We look forward to sharing the designs and visuals for these refurbished facilities over the coming months, and to welcoming families in the early summer when they’re set to open.”
Further updates on the refurbishment project will be added on WDC’s website at www.warwickdc.gov.uk/paddlingpools
