Two splash parks to reopen after bacteria found
Splash parks in Retford, Worksop and Langold were closed
- Published
Two splash parks in a Nottinghamshire district can reopen, a week after tests found a potentially harmful bacterium.
But a third in Bassetlaw will remain closed as testing found a crack in a water tank which needs to be repaired.
The district council said the splash zones at The Canch in Worksop and Kings' Park in Retford have both had a deep clean and returned clear water samples, allowing them to operate between 10:00 and 18:00 BST.
Langold's splash park will remain shut for work to be carried out.
A council spokesperson said: "Thank you for your patience.
"The safety of people using our splash parks will always be our top priority."
