Don't know when it opens, but the council recently advertised the job of leisure attendant for the summer season.

its usually opens before the schools close for summer holidays so probably around June time

hi it opens when the kids brake up for summer hollidays from about 10 o clock till 4 but closes for lunch between 1 and 2 if this helps

i don't think it is the boats wi the oars anymore, it's yon things wi pedals. No, don't mean bikes, but the boaty things wi pedals. Whatever they are called.
