Following over €2m of investment, Bundoran’s Waterworld will finally reopen its doors this week.

Guests visiting the popular indoor water park, which opens at 10am on Friday, will be treated to an enhanced customer experience including a new entrance, extended changing rooms and a more comfortable air atmosphere. 

The addition of Bundoran’s first Changing Places facility will provide ample space and means for those who are less abled, while a threefold increase in changing cubicles, as well as 280 lockers, new toilets and showers, will ensure a spacious and comfortable experience for all who will visit Waterworld this summer. 

For those not donning their swimming trunks, a brand-new viewing area will be available where viewers can relax in comfort with a coffee and a snack and soak up the atmosphere of Waterworld. 

General Manager Áine Temple is looking forward to seeing the facility open to the public again: "While we’ve had a lot of people in the building doing all these works, we’ve missed the sounds of excited guests, both young and old, enjoying all our different slides and water features.placeholder image

"Since we closed last season, the pressure has been on to get the renovation works completed in time for this season, and while we are opening a little later than usual, we are confident that guests will have a better experience than ever when they visit Waterworld this summer."

"This is a significant investment into tourism in Bundoran and has completely modernised Waterworld and its facilities," Chairperson of Bundoran Waterworld CLG and local councillor Micheal McMahon added. "From the minute guests walk in the door they will notice massive changes from the entrance to the changing village to the pool hall itself where the new air handling unit will regulate the temperature to a constant comfortable level. I’d like to pay tribute to Áine and her team as well as all the contractors who have worked so hard to ensure we got open this Friday."

All of Waterworld’s favourite attractions and water features including the Gravity Speed Slide, Whizzer Slide, Tornado Flume, Three Lane Multi Slide, Wave Pool and more will be in action across the summer season as old memories are relived and new ones made.

Booking is now open at waterworldbundoran.com/booking

The eagerly awaited official opening will then take place on Monday, July 14 at 4pm.  The event will be hosted by Cllr Paul Canning, Cathaoirleach of Donegal County Council, alongside Cllr McMahon.

Guests attending the ceremony can look forward to light refreshments and the opportunity to explore the upgraded facilities. The refurbishment marks a fresh chapter for the popular water park, promising the same fun-filled experience that the public knows and loves - now enhanced and better than ever.
