This clean, wonderful playground has plenty of facilities, including showers, toilets and changing rooms housed in distinctive panelled pods. Kids can keep cool in a splash zone, and there's even an outdoor gym for pumping, Since it's right next to The Beach at JBR and The Walk at JBR, there's no shortage of food and drink outlets, although alcohol is only available in the hotels.
