Merton Opens Paddling Pools

Young kids will be making a splash this week as Merton Council opens its paddling pools for the summer.

The pools, opening on 19 July in parks across the borough give families and children the chance to cool off in the hot weather.

Merton’s paddling pools will open from 10am to 5pm every day in the summer holidays until 31 August. Wimbledon Park’s interactive water play area has been open since May and will also remain in use until 31 August.
