As preparations continue for the major refurbishment of the Leisure Pool, the outdoor rapids will close with immediate effect.
The temporary closure is needed to allow essential preparatory work to take place ahead of the Leisure Pool refurbishment programme, which begins when the pool closes on 28 September.
While the outdoor rapids will be unavailable, all other Leisure Pool attractions will remain open as normal until the main refurbishment closure starts later this month.
The refurbishment will deliver significant improvements to the Leisure Pool, creating a refreshed and improved experience for visitors when it reopens.
We appreciate this may be disappointing for some customers and thank everyone for their patience as we prepare for these exciting improvements. Further updates on refurbishment plans will be shared over the coming weeks.
Leisure World’s Leisure Pool will temporarily close from late September 2026 as part of a significant investment programme.
The improvement programme will deliver upgrades across the Leisure Pool, including pool relining, refurbished changing facilities, improved air ventilation, a new splash pad, upgraded water features and improvements to the flumes. These improvements are designed to create a more modern, welcoming and enjoyable experience for customers while supporting the long-term future of the facility.
The investment forms part of Leisure World’s ongoing commitment to improving facilities, responding to customer feedback and providing high-quality leisure experiences for residents and visitors.
Further details will be shared ahead of the closure.
