Water jets have been active at Seville Water Play Park at the recreation reserve, Lillydale Lake splash pad and Warburton Water World since September. 

In spring and summer, there are few better places to be than with your friends and family at a water play park, a pool, or a leafy, shady park. 

Our water play parks are extremely well-visited – and for good reason. The jets, the equipment and the scenic surrounds make for a wonderful day out. 

As the weather warms up, it’s the perfect chance to plan a picnic or grab some food from their favourite local restaurant or café, and head down for a day of water play and fun in the sun. 

Water play park jets turn on between 8am-10am, depending on location. 

On days where weather is forecast to be 35 degrees of higher, the water jets at our play parks will stay on for an extra hour – usually finishing at 9pm. 

When visiting water play parks and splash pads, sun smart behaviour is a must – make sure to apply sunscreen, wear hats and sunglasses and clothing to reduce skin exposure, and take breaks in the shade. Bring water and snacks for everyone with you, and watch out for sun burn or exhaustion. 

Remember to have a backup plan on warm weekend days and public holidays, as carparks can fill quickly, or stop in at a local business for a coffee or cold drink and walk over later.
