Temperatures soar, but Leighton's splash park will be shut all week
The popular facility would have been a great way to cool off as temperatures soar into the 30s – especially with families flocking to Parsons’s Close Recreation Ground on Wednesday for the annual Picnic In The Park.
But while maintenance tasks were being performed on the equipment yesterday (Monday) a part was damaged, with the facility now having to be closed.

A statement from Leighton-Linslade Town Council said: “Unfortunately, whilst undertaking the maintenance a part has been damaged and requires replacement.
“The part has been ordered and the engineer has been re-scheduled for Friday 23rd June . This is out of our control and the Splash and Play will remain closed until the necessary repairs have taken place. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.”
