Located close to Pershore town centre, Abbey Park is a fantastic family-friendly destination offering outdoor play, water fun and space to relax by the river.

The park is especially popular during the warmer months thanks to its modern Splash Pad, which has transformed the previous ageing splash area into an exciting interactive water play attraction.

The Splash Pad at Abbey Park

The Splash Pad at Abbey Park features 18 individual water play features, designed to create an engaging and colourful experience for children of all ages.

Inspired by Pershore’s historic racecourse, the splash area includes a dynamic racecourse track theme with interactive sprays, water challenges and imaginative play elements throughout.

Children can race through the Water Fence Sprays, jump through Hedge Hurdles and dash beneath the Sprinkle Shower finish line. The area also includes playful features such as the Apple Tree Tipping Buckets, flower-themed water panels and the impressive Jumping Horse water feature.

For younger visitors, there is a gentler toddler-friendly river play zone featuring the Weir Gate and Freddy Frog, creating a safer and more relaxed water play experience for little ones.

The Splash Pad is bright, colourful and interactive, making it one of the best free family attractions in Pershore during spring and summer.

Why families love it

Families love the combination of imaginative water play, nearby playground facilities and the park’s convenient location close to Pershore town centre cafés and shops.

It is a brilliant option for warm weather days, summer holidays, after-school visits and meeting up with friends outdoors.

The nearby refreshment kiosk, usually open during summer months, also makes it easy to grab drinks, snacks or ice creams while the children play.

Planning your visit

The Splash Pad is normally open daily from 10am to 6pm, although opening may vary depending on maintenance and weather conditions.

If you are visiting with children, it is a good idea to bring towels, spare clothes, swimwear, sun cream and drinks, especially on hot days when the splash area can get very busy.
