Southsea Splashpool Closed Until Sunday Over Low Chlorine Safety Fears

Southsea Splashpool SHUT over safety fears!

Chlorine levels spark urgent closure

Portsmouth City Council slammed the brakes on Southsea Splashpool this afternoon. A drop in chlorination levels means it’s not safe to take a dip – and fixing it is top priority.

When will the pool reopen?

Good news: the splash zone is expected to splash back open by Sunday. For the very latest updates, call 023 9282 8112.

Where to cool off instead?
