Wallingford Riverside Park The paddling pool has gone replaced by water spurts that come on for the children playing in them, the swimming pool has changed little apart from fencing off the river for mooring thus enclosing the swimming pool, no more free dips if you moored your boat by the steps like we did as apprentices.
