Maldon Splash Park

“Promenade Valley in Maldon is one of the much-loved and favourite places with everyone of all ages - in particular, with children and families. The Valley is located right in the middle of the park, hosting three of the much-loved and favourite attractions - Maldon Splash Park, Maldon Beach Huts, and Valley Galleon Play Area with Sandpit - with visitors from locals and afar! A large fenced splash park seems very appealing and enticing to children in particular. Children must be accompanied by an adult, and tickets must be purchased online. A number of very colourful beach huts are located right next to the mini-galleon play area with a sandpit. These can be hired for the day. Becah Hut is a perfect base for anyone visiting Promenade Park for the day and a great hut if you want to use the Splash Park! Each hut is equipped with a cupboard, deckchairs, internal lighting, and an electrical plug socket. Each of the huts is named after birds found in the local area. Splash Park and Beach Huts are available for hire during the summer months only. Advance booking via the website is strongly recommended for both the Splash Park and Beach Huts. If you want, you can hire a deck chair too! PROMENADE PARK: Opened in 1895, the 100+ year-old Edwardian Promenade Park in Maldon is the largest waterside park in Essex, hosting a multitude of unique features, activities, and events throughout the year.

Promenade Park has large Pay & Display car parking facilities, including dedicated areas for coaches. Public Conveniences including Radar Key-operated Disabled Toilets with Changing Facilities, are available in 3 separate places, offering easy access from anywhere in the Promenade Park!”

“What a lovely day we had with our family! We booked two 25 min sessions online as we knew that only one wouldn't be enough. There was no wait for the entrance. The splash park is very nice and clean. There are many different sprinklers to play and to have heaps of fun with. Once our session ended we moved on to have icecream and children played on two different playgrounds. One is smaller with sand surrounding it, great for different digging games and the other one is a really big and ship shaped! There are also toilets, mini golf, a mini zoo and lovely fish and chip place that offers yummy chips and one of the best chicken nuggets 😋 We might be thinking about moving to Maldon as its lovely for families!!!”

“Always a great day out for the kids at the Maldon splash park. Take our own seating, picnic and games to play and camp out near to the playground and splash area. Good walks along the river too, with plenty to see. Other vendors sell food, ice creams etc and buckets and spades.”

“A lovely little area, great during the summer to take the whole family. Added to the water park is a pirate ship, and a great wall around the river with ships, shops and docking areas. All in all a great family day out and you can even hire a beach hut to change to and from in.”
