Families can once again enjoy one of Swansea’s most popular free attractions after Blackpill Lido officially reopened following essential repair work.
The much-loved seafront splash park is now open daily from 9am to 5pm until the end of September, giving families plenty of opportunities to cool off during the current heatwave and throughout the school summer holidays.
The reopening follows the installation of new sprinklers and repairs to the lido’s flooring after earlier issues delayed its return.
Visitors do not need to book in advance and can simply turn up to enjoy the facility. The neighbouring Junction Café is also open daily from 9am to 5pm.
Andrew Williams, Swansea Council’s Cabinet Member for Development, said: “We’re delighted that our much-loved and much-missed lido has re-opened.
“Thank you to everyone for your patience and understanding. We were as frustrated as anyone by the theft of the sprinklers and the problems with the flooring.
“But now it’s all fixed and ready to welcome families back to enjoy free splash days on the seafront this summer.”
The council said the reopening forms part of its ongoing commitment to providing free and low cost activities and attractions for families across Swansea during the summer months.
