WORCESTERSHIRE has a new family attraction for the summer holidays.

The Valley, Evesham, opened its splash pad this afternoon (Monday, August 3).

Located at the heart of the shopping centre, the splash pad is free to use and suitable for all ages.

For those wishing to avoid the water, park benches and beach chairs are scattered around the pad.

Evesham's splash pad is the latest to open in the county, with Worcester's Gheluvelt Park splash pad often coming under criticism for repeatedly breaking down during the summer months.
