The girls aged 14 and 18 had been using the water slides but their alleged attackers, both from Afghanistan and aged 14 and 34, had been waiting for them at the bottom to molest them.
Both men were arrested on suspicion of attempted rape and sexual coercion and are being held in custody without bail.
