The paddling pool in London Colney will be replaced with a splash pad. - Credit: LCPC The much-loved, and well-used paddling pool in London Colney will not be re-opening again due to health and safety fears. The facility, at Morris Recreation Ground field, is to remain permanently closed due to a health and safety report which highlighted that the pool presents too many risks to children. Originally the pool was closed due to government coronavirus guidance in summer 2020 and was expected to re-open this summer. But at its annual council meeting, members of London Colney Parish Council supported a replacement water feature in the form of a splash pad with at least 10 play items along with the infrastructure needed to run the facility.
