Bakewell splash pad set for nature-themed upgrades
Work to upgrade Bakewell Recreation Ground splash pad is due to begin on Tuesday, September 22.
The work will create a refreshed, nature themed design and enhanced interactive play features for local families and visitors.
The splash pad will close for the winter period while improvements take place and will reopen for the 2027 season in April.
The new design includes interactive water play inspired by nature, including a garden bug with tipping bucket features and a range of accessible low level elements.
The two existing above ground features will be refreshed with new butterfly and snail elements, both offering 360° rotation.
Derbyshire Dales District Council considered two design options with the chosen design ensuring consistency across district sites so equipment can be moved between locations in future if required.
