The summer holidays are fast approaching and with the continual heat pounding down, you may be looking for an idea to entertain the kids during their time off and help them - and you - cool down. Well, in the heart of Cardiff's Canton lies Victoria Park where you will find a splash pad that has over 30 sprays, jets and features your kids will go wild for.
Spread across three zones for toddlers, juniors and families, on a sweltering hot day nothing sounds better than being drenched by a bucket of cool water before you dry off with an ice cream in hand from the booth within the park - Mamma's Place. If you're fancying something a little more savoury, they also do chips and burgers. So grab your bathers and give it a go. There's also a paddling pool in the park if you want something a little more relaxed.
You don't have to live in the area to enjoy this little splash pad as there are regular buses that stop right outside the park and while there isn't much parking there, if you're lucky you'll bag a spot in the parking spaces dotted around the streets surrounding the park - although be mindful of residential parking.
