Splash World to reopen after almost three years shut

Splash World has finally been given an estimated reopening date.

Sefton Council has confirmed that Splashworld in Southport is set to reopen this autumn despite the council hoping to have it open during the summer. It was confirmed that work on the currently closed waterpark would cost an additional £270,000 earlier this month with the leisure centre and swimming baths initially closing in December 2019 for refurbishment.

Now, more than two years later, it's expected to reopen in October after more essential work on the flume tower, the flooring and the foliage will be completed. Sefton Council also confirmed that there had been false media coverage surrounding the attraction, with some outlets claiming it would reopen in August.
