Another key milestone in water park development

The skate park on Rhyl promenade closed on Monday, 25 September - to make way for the flagship water park which will form a significant part of the waterfront redevelopment.

Work on the detailed design of the brand new replacement skate park is underway and the location of the new facility will be announced shortly.

A planning application for the skate park is expected to be completed in the autumn and work will start early in 2018, with a view to it being available for the summer months.

The Council would like to thank skate park users for their co-operation.

Meanwhile, Alliance Leisure Services have been awarded the contract to develop the Water Park, with contractors ISG now on site.

Leader of Denbighshire, Councillor Hugh Evans OBE, said: “The future upgrading of the leisure and tourism offer on the coastal front is considered the most critical element of the overall regeneration of Rhyl.

“The proposals for the new ‘Waterfront’ have been developed in such a way as to complement the regeneration plan for the whole town and, because of its location (next to the Sky Tower & Cinema, opposite the new Premier Inn development and close to the Town Centre/High Street retail area), serving as a catalyst for attracting more footfall into Rhyl and driving increased visitor numbers through the Town Centre.

“The relocation of the skate park is an important element of the scheme and this latest development shows that plans for the water park are progressing into a very exciting phase and are on-track to be delivered.
