A popular splash pad in Cardiff has closed "temporarily" after reopening for the season on Saturday, May 27. The Victoria Park splash pad had to shut down after a fault developed in the mechanism that supplies water to the splash pad, said Cardiff Council.
They confirmed that a contractor is working with them to fix the fault and hope it will reopen as soon as possible. The council added that it is "frustrating" that the splash pad has broken down in the middle of the half-term school holidays, as it worked during testing last week.
