Many of you will remember the "Aqua Park" and even the St Augustines Swimming pool in Norwich.
As a kid i have many happy memories of going there with friends and family. As a dad i would love for my kids to have the same experience.
The riverside swimming facility is good but i have taken my kids there and its very adult orientated. It lacks the fun and adventure the Aqua park used to have (not forgetting the disco lights and music and big slides!)
Norwich and the nearby urban area has a population of of over 350,000 people, i think this facility would have plenty of custom and could survive as a business.
It's a facilty that would be fun for kids and give them the exercise they so desperately need!
Please sign and most importantly SHARE! Lets hope business leaders and the council can come together with some plans for the near future. If there is enough interest and signatures i will present this petition to the Council & my local MP.
Thanks all :-)

I honestly never thought this would reach one hundred signatures when I hit publish. It is completely down to you guys for caring about this as much as I do.

I love the old park. I miss the fact that my 3 children have nowhere near to have the fun I did without being shouted at by the serious swimmers. We can't keep going to Blackpool it's getting expensive with travel.
So many days as a youth were spent at the old Aqua park. We loved it! It was one of the few places my Mum could drop my friends and me off by ourselves, to have a good time! There's not enough places like that left for kids now... It's sad!
I have two pre-school aged children who are learning to swim. A fun orientated Aqua park would be a great way to practice and consolidate what they learn in swimming classes in a fun and informal way with their parents and would enable the parents to get some much needed excerise also.
It would be nice to be able to take my children swimming to a public pool a bit more local (I live in Drayton), without having to go to Riverside or Dereham. I loved the Sports Village Pool - we need swimming facilities in north-west Norwich area please!!!!!!!
We've resorted to hiring private pools for our swimming trips as its too far to travel to The Marina or Splash. Norwich needs something fun like Aqua park was when we were kids. And it needs to be affordable for families to attend
There’s nothing to do in Norwich and this would definitely be a great place for people to go to
Great idea

We at Briar Chemicals have a large plot of land adjacent to PC World currently available for lease. I'd think it was ideal for this. I too think we need a new 'public' pool, not one that requires membership. Currently I drive out to sherringham!
