Park location
Located at the Centrale Car Park on Tamworth Road in Croydon, it is known as the "Costa del Croydon".
This is a 20 minutes drive from Banstead, just outside Surrey.
The kids rooftop splash park is returning after a successful inaugural event last year, where it attracted more than 30,000 visitors.
Opening dates and times
From August 1, it will be free-to-access this summer, and open to the public seven days a week until August 31.
Two daily sessions are available for families to attend - 11:30am to 3pm, and 3:30pm to 7pm.
What to expect
Visitors of all ages will be able to enjoy the stunning views the Costa del Croydon offers across South London from its award winning rooftop.
A new addition to this year is a quiet chill zone for people to relax and recharge in the shade, with calming music away from all the buzz.
There will also be a toddler paddling pool for children under 5, as well as different food vendors with child-friendly and veggie options.
A range of street food stalls will be present to provide sweet treats, cocktails and cold drinks.
This year offers an expanded events programme, which incorporates live music, arts and games.
And like last year, there will be paid-for rides including go-karts and bungee trampolines.
Free daily activities are available too, such as dance workshops, face painting and crafts.

Love Island fans slam show as ‘rigged' as they fear for fan favourite star
LOVE Island fans have been left fearing the show has been 'rigged' as the ex-Islanders make their comeback to vote off one more couple. With five couples all still vying to make it into the ITV2 dating show's final, the past raft of contestants are back to end someone's dream early by collectively voting to dump one pair. 4 4 However, cautious fans have been left panicking that the direction of who they choose to vote off could have been manipulated - and it has left them fearing for one fan-favourite. They think Shakira Khan could be axed over her romance with Harry Cooksley in favour of warring pair Dejon and Meg. Dejon was seen bickering with his girlfriend over the last two episodes with many viewers questioning how they have remained in the villa - especially given that popularity for the pair is low. With one couple already dumped, fans have begun to fear the worst and speculate as to what's to come on Sunday night's show. Writing on X, one viewer said: "Old islanders choosing who to dump days before the final.. Meg and D will still sail to the final when the past few days has shown they aint it!! "Ugh so bloody rigged it's not even funny." Another added: "This is rigged cause no way the ex islanders will dump Meg and Dejon." A third then posted: "I feel like they rigged the votes because they wanted Meg and Dejon to face the old islanders." Before a fourth chimed in to say: "Guys it's so rigged! The producers want Dejon & meg to win." Fearing for Shakira, someone else said online: "istg if the dumped islanders pick Shakira and harry and use harry as a scapegoat…" Love Island fans slam Dejon for 'huge overreaction' as the girls play a trick on the boys As another wrote: "If Shakira, Toni or Yas are dumped by those past islanders istg never use that twist again." The Sun were the first to reveal that many of this year's Islanders would be making a return to the Majorcan villa for the jury trial vote twist. The cast returned to the villa for the always-shocking Islander Jury on Friday and sent this pair packing. In scenes that will air on Sunday night, former cast made their epic returns to make the huge decision. Former Islanders including Harry Cooksley's ex Emma Munro, Billykiss Azeez, and smitten couple Harrison Solomon and Lauren Wood, voted for the couple they wanted to boot. While The Sun can't reveal their identities at this crucial stage of the ITV2 dating show, we can share that Islanders made their decisions having watched back footage and been shocked by what they saw. 4

‘There's a f***ing chicken on the pitch' – Legendary ref reveals moment he had to stop game in bizarre scenes
ICONIC referee Mark Clattenburg hilariously recalled the time a CHICKEN invaded the pitch during one of his Premier League games. After the Anfield cat, came the the Blackburn chicken who appeared during a relegation dogfight at Ewood Park in 2012. 4 4 4 A chicken was released onto pitch during Blackburn 's crucial Premier League survival match against Wigan in May 2012. It wasn't a prank either but a protest against then-club owners Venky's, an Indian poultry company that specialises in chicken meat processing. The bird was wearing a Blackburn flag as a cape with a note tied to it that read: "Out". The chicken strolled onto the pitch early in the first half prompting Clattenburg to blow his whistle. And it left a mark on Clattenburg who recollected the hilarious moment to a new generation of footie fans 13 years later. The 50-year-old told the RoversXtra podcast: "I remember doing Blackburn vs Wigan and it was a Monday night game. "There was a big protest against the Venky's and the ball was the other end, and the assistant was at the other end. "He was shouting 'stop the game'. 'stop the game'. "I was thinking 'stop the f***ing game, what's he on about?' There's nothing wrong, there's no free-kick play on. "But he said 'stop the game the game there's a f***ing chicken on the pitch'. 'It can be quite toxic... not healthy' - Shaw gives brutal verdict of Man Utd's failings but backs Amorim's tough stance Sky Sports "I went 'f*** off man'. A Premier League game you know. So I turned around and there was Paul Robinson chasing a chicken around the pitch live on Sky." But Clattenburg got it slightly wrong - the chicken was actually chased and caught in the goal net by Wigan keeper Ali Al Habsi and Blackburn's Yakubu. After play resumed, Blackburn, who were once Premier League champions in 1995, were relegated to the Championship after losing 1-0 to the Latics. And just to rub in their rivals' misfortune, Burnley fans commissioned a plane to carry the message of "In Venky's we trust" through the dark skies over Ewood Park.
