A combination of a four year old dream and hard work, spearheaded by the Friends of Bulwell Bogs, has come to completion with the opening of the new Water Park at Bulwell Bogs.

The Water Park, the first in Nottinghamshire, offers an exciting water world of play for the under 12's, with an area allocated especially for toddlers.

The centre piece of the Water Park is a Bulls head, specially designed for Bulwell, which sprays water out of its mouth. Other features include sprays, geysers and fountains on a timed programme, producing alternating jets and power of sprays.

As well as offering visual and touch stimulation, the Park offers sound stimulation through 'sound sticks' - columns within the water park that produce sound when touched.

Nottingham City Council has invested over £376,000 to replace the old paddling pool with state of the art facilities, plus a new footpath to improve access and pedestrian safety, working closely with The Friends of Bulwell Bogs to progress the project from initial concepts through to completion.

Graham Chapman, Deputy Leader said: "This is a great new facility for Bulwell, it’s just another one of the exciting things that’s happening to the area and will help put Bulwell on the map."
