A new children’s soft play facility will open on Jersey's Waterfront on 1 October.

Tintos - in the former Arcadia and WYSIWYG building - replaces the play area at Fort Regent, which is being vacated for redevelopment.

The new facility has been paid for the profits of Jersey Development Company's College Garden homes.

Tintos is being run by an independent local operator and will cater for children aged 0 - 12.

It will include a dedicated baby play area, a sensory zone, interactive play, slides, climbing walls, ropes, bridges and crawl-through tubes.

There will be a cafe and a space for birthday parties.

Lee Henry, chief executive of the JDC, said: ‘We’re delighted to see the transformation of this space at the Waterfront into a new family-focused amenity.

"Tintos Soft Play is just one part of the government’s relocation of activities from Fort Regent to enable its much-needed regeneration, and we’re pleased to be working alongside government to deliver new all-weather leisure facilities that serve the community."

The venue will be open seven days a week from 9am to 5pm Monday to Thursday and from 9am to 6pm Friday to Sunday.
