Youngsters cool down in the summer sun after a water play area opened in Pershore's Abbey Park. Wychavon District Council's Parks Officer Lynn Stevens said: "We chose to create water play areas because they are not only great fun but children of all ages and abilities can enjoy these fountains. As we are well into the summer months we hope to see lots of youngsters in the area making the most of the water play during the school holidays and beyond into September if the weather is fine."
