Numbers will be limited to 30 people in each session to reduce congestion and crowding on the inflatables and it will be available for youngsters aged six and above with a minimum height restriction of 120cm. The park can also be booked for private parties.

The venue, which will be manned by full-time lifeguards, will offer 50-minute sessions on the variety of different styles of floating bouncy castles.
