More about this scene

Families with small children could always come to one of the many paddling pools in the area. The pool setting is designed so that a whole day could be spent there, with grassy banks for having a picnic and open spaces in which to run about.

If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?

I can so clearly recall the school summer holidays back in the early 70's. The paddling pool was full of kids (myself included) having a great time, splashing and playing. And the grassy banks surrounding it were full of mums with picnic blankets, towels, juice and sandwiches. I am sure that the progress (!) that demolished the nearby Swimming pool must have also taken this wonderful place away.
