THE paddling pool at Gheluvelt Park, Worcester, is due to reopen this afternoon in time for the summer holidays. From tomorrow, the pool adjacent to the children's play area, will be open from 11am to 6pm every day until Sunday, September 3.

Michelle Newell, park warden for Worcester City Council, said that the pool is always a favourite.

She added: "Gheluvelt Park is already a wonderful place for parents to take their children to have fun and relax but the opening of the paddling pool adds an extra dimension.

"Young children enjoy making a splash."
