Funfields was the place to be last week with young and old alike flocking to the water park to cool off.

Visitors streamed through the gates of the Whittlesea park on Thursday as the mercury tipped 39 degrees.

Many took the opportunity to cool off in the park’s pools and splash zone, while thrillseekers beat the heat on the waterslides.

 

Funfields is home to some of the world’s biggest water slides, including the Gravity Wave which opened in October last year.
