Maldon Splash Park is set to open for one final day this Sunday (September 10), after reopening due to popular demand during the recent heatwave.

The aqua play area had initially been open full-time from July 22 until September 3.

A spokesperson for Places Leisure, the company responsible for the Splash Park, said: "You asked, we delivered! The sun is back and so are we.

"For the final time this year, we are opening our gates at the Maldon Splash Park this weekend. Trust us, you don't want to miss out!"
