Pictures have emerged of floods in Cassiobury Park after it was hit with a deluge last week.
Watford and the surrounding areas were pummelled by torrential rain on Thursday and Friday as the Met Office issued a yellow weather warning.
Snaps of Cassiobury Park's playground show part of the merry-go-round underwater and the slides terminating in a small lake.
Runners and dogwalkers were also seen navigating the floods as water spilled over onto footpaths, but the Cassiobury parkrun still managed to go ahead at the weekend.
The Met Office had warned that flooding of homes and businesses was possible during the two-day period, and urged people to plan ahead before travelling.

Herts Fire and Rescue received "multiple calls to cars stuck" and warned drivers on social media "DO NOT drive through flood water".
Elsewhere, heavy rain forced the A41 North Western Avenue to close on Thursday at the underpass beneath the Leavesden Green roundabout.
The A41 heading from Hemel Hempstead towards Watford also became a "a mini-lake" on Friday morning, forcing motorists to pass in just one lane.
