The Cassiobury Park paddling pool will be closed for three days in July, to allow essential maintenance to take place and ensure it's ready for the peak periods over the summer months ahead...
Watford Borough Council has said that the splash park will be closed from Monday 15 July to Wednesday 17 July, while work is carried out on the pool plant. The work is weather dependent, so if it remains dry on Monday and Tuesday, the pools should be open for ‘walk-in’ participants on Wednesday, but bookings will not be available. Potential visitors on these dates are advised to check in advance.
The paddling pool is usually open daily from 10am to 6.30pm between which times staff check and monitor water quality. The pools are managed by Everyone Active and there is a booking system in place to help manage the facility during peak times.
The bookings run in one hour play slots, limited to 270 people at one time (including parents and guardians), and are bookable for the following entry times - 10am, 11.30am, 1pm, 2.30pm, 4pm and 5.30pm.
In order to pre-book, park-visitors will need to register an account with Everyone Active at everyoneactive.com/mobile-app in order to get a member ID and Pin Number. Bookings can be made via the Everyone Active app and website via everyoneactive.com/centre/cassiobury-park-paddling-pools. Instructions for the app can be found below:

People are encouraged not to book back-to-back slots, otherwise children and families wanting to use the facility might not be accommodated. If you book back-to-back sessions, you will still be required to exit at the end of the session, when the pools are drained down for 30 minutes, and will be refused entry on to the next session.
