PADDLING POOL NOW OPEN!
Yesterday's announcement from Warwick District Council:
"29 July 2026
Following this morning’s opening of the St Nicholas Park paddling pool, we are happy to announce that the Victoria Park paddling pool is now open to the public (Wednesday 29 July).

Both pools are expected to be very busy in the coming days. So that everyone can enjoy the facilities safely visitors are advised to:
- wear non-slip pool shoes; and
- not exceed the maximum capacity of 130 at Victoria Park and 70 at St Nicholas Park as this may impact the performance of the water features
The paddling pools will be open daily from 10am to 6pm. Although they will not be supervised, a maintenance and care team will monitor cleanliness and visitor numbers throughout the day."

PADDLING POOLS UPDATE
Yesterday (Friday), Warwick District Council posted the following:
"St Nicholas Park Paddling Pool update
The defect rectification programme for both the St Nicholas Park and Victoria Park pools is scheduled to be completed by the end of July, and the Council has been pushing the contractor hard to bring this date forward.
We had hoped that St Nicholas Park Paddling Pool would open to the public today in time for the weekend. Unfortunately we are unable to do this, as the facility has not been legally handed over to the Council by the contractor with the required certification.
The Council has been assured by the contractor that final checks and handover will now take place on Monday 27 July with Victoria Park to follow on Wednesday 29 July.
Whilst the St Nicholas Park paddling pool site might look open, it legally remains a construction site and must not be entered by members of the public until it is officially opened and the gates are unlocked."
