City's pool and water park opens for summer

Two council water attractions in Wolverhampton have opened for the summer.

Tettenhall Pool and East Park water play are welcomed their first visitors at the weekend, reopening after the winter period and safety checks.

The city council is encouraging users to enjoy the water safely and be considerate to local residents.

Councillor Bhupinder Gakhal said: "It's wonderful that we have two great water play facilities in the city and I'd like to remind people of the importance of wearing suitable clothes and shoes while enjoying the city's water attractions and do bring hats and sunscreen on sunny days."

"Please also be considerate to local residents when you visit the pool or the water splash play and take your litter away with you," the cabinet member for resident services added.

"Remember, if you're bringing your dog, please make sure they are kept under control, on a lead and out of the water."

The attractions traditionally reopen during the late May Bank Holiday weekend and remain open throughout the summer before closing again in September.
