The park is situated on Christchurch Quay, a site historically significant for its role in the town's maritime trade.
The splashpad uses a 'zero-depth' design, meaning there is no standing water, which significantly reduces the risk of drowning.
The facility is managed by the BCP (Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole) Council as part of their public green space network.
The surrounding Quomps area provides a direct view across the water to the Christchurch Priory, one of the longest parish churches in the United Kingdom.
Quomps Splashpark is a seasonal, zero-depth water play facility located within the historic Christchurch Quay in Dorset. The facility features a variety of interactive fountains, jets, and water play equipment designed primarily for younger children. It sits adjacent to the River Stour, providing views of the local boating activities and nearby grassy parklands. The splashpad operates on a recirculation system, ensuring water is treated and filtered during peak periods. It is integrated into a larger public recreational area that includes traditional playground equipment and accessible walking paths.

Plan to visit the nearby traditional playground after the splashpad to extend your visit.
