A POPULAR paddling pool is set to reopen this weekend in time for the summer half term.
Run by the council in partnership with Places for People, the site at Fleming Park in Eastleigh attracts thousands of families every summer.
It will reopen on Saturday after being closed for several weeks for improvements.
To meet demand, the fencing has been extended to increase the size of the safe space around the pool.
This includes space under existing mature trees to provide shade and planting new trees to provide shade in years to come.
The pool is free for the public to use and includes a number of water features next to a large play area and sandpit.
Chair of Eastleigh Local Area Committee, Cllr Alex Bourne, said: "The paddling pool is a fantastic local facility, is hugely popular with families with young children and of course it’s absolutely free for everyone to use.
"I’m delighted that we are now able to reopen the paddling pool for local families to enjoy this summer."
