Flooding: New Forest Water Park delays opening
New Forest Water Park in Hampshire says it's the first time in its 35-year history that the start of the season had been postponed.
Director Ben Jury said the lake and its catchment had been deluged by constant rain which had not been able to drain away. He also said: "It's too near to the electric boxes, and the entrance way to the wakeboarding is slippery as we can't clean it."
The park, between Fordingbridge and Ringwood, also operates a floating inflatable play area which is due to open in May, as well as a year-round fishing lake.
