Source : http://news.bbc.co.uk/go/rss/-/1/hi/world/...man/6519535.stm I love in depth journalism! What is it exactly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerryMcCann Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 I think it's a kind of fountain/sprinkler kids play thing. It's replaced the paddling pool in Mooragh Park which had to go due to health and safety reasons. I mean a kid could have drowned in it. Obviously they couldn't have drowned in that filthy brown lake that is 5 yards away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverfoxie Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 Ha Ha thats funny! Health & Safety strikes again, the big meanie! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitro Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 The paddling pool was crap anyway, It was dirty and probably cost a fortune to maintain, When it was empty there would be broken glass and loads of tyre marks from bicycles. Just looked crap!, Still not sure what this thing is though, Could be funny if its a random sprinkler thingy with People walking past! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feelslikeitshould Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 Wasn't it more to do with the fact it's not chlorinated or filtered and the little darlings kept weeing in it? Nice.... That thing looks well more fun, I might have a go on Wednesday! hehe! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Declan Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 It's replaced the paddling pool in Mooragh Park which had to go due to health and safety reasons. I mean a kid could have drowned in it. I nearly did! Anyway, isn't a paddling pool a "water play feature"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I nearly did! Anyway, isn't a paddling pool a "water play feature"? Indeed - but not the first of its kind in the Isle of Man so not as exciting as this!

Roger Smelly Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 I would love to see the TT Putting come back with a modern design. a revamp would have been good for ramsey with the 100 years this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilDDog Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 I've seen these fountains in the States and in Europe and from experience kids and adults have lots of fun trying to dodge the water Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WilDDog Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 Bit like rain is it ? Yeah and seeing as we don't get much rain on the Island it'll be a nice treat for all concerned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Tatlock Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 It's replaced the paddling pool in Mooragh Park which had to go due to health and safety reasons. Piddling pool more like. At least this one flushes itself clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gladys Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 There is a great water maze at Hever Castle (at least I think it was Hever, Ann Boleyn's family seat). Very attractively laid out and good fun. We'll probably give this one a go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
