Liverpool 1 Gets A New Holiday Look - Part 2

YOU need to go shopping, but it’s the summer holidays and the kids fancy sand water and fun. Liverpool 1 has a great solution called 'Paradise in the Park'. You can enjoy the wide range of shops and, until 31 August 2010, the children can have their wishes granted too. 260 tonnes of beach sand were delivered on Monday, 18 July and the area at the top of Chavasse Park has now been transformed into a tropical playground for all. It opened to the public on July 22, and now offers a big, safe ‘beach’ and a shallow water play area of 100 square metres, plus palm trees, and deck chairs, with drinks and barbeque food on hand. There is music too; live and disco. If you take your photos carefully enough, your friends will be sure that you’ve been to the Caribbean! We visited on the first day, relaxed by the pool in the sunshine and really chilled out. Great! If you wish to be more ‘lively’, there is a programme of activities, including Beach volleyball and Beach Fitness but you have to be an early bird for these. There is tempting programme of evening entertainments as well. Also on the site is a funfair, provided by Mellor entertainments, with stalls and rides to suit all; from Pony Express and Canoes for the smaller visitors to inflatable slides, Spinning Barrels and Crazy Golf to Bungee Trampoline, Bumper Boats and, for the more adventurous, Shark Bite; the UK’s biggest mobile roller coaster, standing 20m high and with 40m of track. This was drawing large numbers on its inaugural day. Rides are paid for by pre-bought tokens at 50p each, with smaller rides averaging 3 tokens and the rest 6-8. Paradise in the Park seems to be an innovative and appealing way to divert young minds during the holidays but with something for older members too. Go and experience if for yourselves!
