The paddling pool at Coronation Park has been opened for the second time this month.

The pool was closed one day after opening because a small girl cut her lip when she slipped as she entered the pool.

The child fell on the non-slip surface.

The government apologised for the accident and said the girl's injuries were not thought to be serious.

The pool was closed last year for refurbishment which included a new non-slip surface .
