€2m Upgrades Made To Top Bundoran Attraction

A €2 million upgrade to Bundoran's top tourist attraction, Waterworld, has been successfully completed.

Guests will be treated to an enhanced customer experience including a new entrance, extended changing rooms and a more comfortable air atmosphere when the facility reopens its doors this Friday, July 11, at 10am.

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 has also been added. Furthermore, a brand-new viewing area will also be available.

General Manager, Aine McCaughey, 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 of our different slides and water features. 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."

Chairperson of Bundoran Waterworld CLG and local councillor Micheal McMahon added: "This is a significant investment into tourism in Bundoran and has completely modernised Waterworld and its facilities. 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 Aine and her team as well as all the contractors who have worked so hard to ensure we got open this Friday."
