Health & Safety
Following social distancing guidelines, the Water Park reopened in June with health and safety measures in place. The Water Park is operating a one way system on land and hand sanitiser is readily available. Changing rooms and showers are temporarily closed and there are limited toilets.
Inflatable AquaPark
Providing customers with the best experience and keeping everyone safe is always at the forefront of our minds. After great deliberation we have decided to keep our inflatable AquaPark closed for the 2020 season. This is due to social distancing and health & safety guidelines significantly impacting the customer experience.
