Summer is over: Tettenhall Pool closes in preparation for winter shutdown
Autumn's here and this signals the closure of Tettenhall's popular paddling pool until next spring.
The splash pool off Wergs Road in Tettenhall usually gets filled and ready for families to cool off in warmer temperature in May after water safety tests are completed.
Wolverhampton Today posted on Facebook: "Tettenhall Pool has now closed for the summer and will be drained for its usual winter shutdown. The splash pad at East Park will close over the coming days.
"It was lovely to see so many visitors this year, we hope you had fun."
Families travel from all over the Black Country for the chance to splash about, get out the inflatables and have a good time at Tettenhall Pool.
The water play area at East Park in Hickman Avenue, Monmore Green was opened in 2023 following work carried out by Wolverhampton Council in partnership with contractors Wicksteed.
It is just one of the attractions at the play area, which also includes treetop towers, roundabouts, seesaws, wet-pour tunnels, a firefighters pole, rockers, springers and bucket and rope swings.
Wolverhampton's resident services boss Councillor Bhupinder Gakhal said: “It’s wonderful that we have two great water play facilities in the city and I’d like to remind people of the importance of wearing suitable clothes and shoes while enjoying the city’s water attractions – and do bring hats and sunscreen on sunny days.
“Please also be considerate to local residents when you visit the pool or the water splash play and take your litter away with you. Remember, if you’re bringing your dog, please make sure they are kept under control, on a lead and out of the water.”
