The contract started in February with 3 hectares of land, with a target of building, staffing and opening a £1M complex by June.

A local architect, with no experience of leisure parks, had prepared the plans and daily changes were needed to adapt to reality. Original plans excluded an infirmary, sufficient parking for visitors, etc.

The water-slides were manufactured and installed by a Spanish company and local builders built the pools, restaurant and other facilities. The coordination was complex.

The Park was planned to receive 1500 - 2000 people per day in the summer.

40 staff were recruited and trained in a few weeks.

This project was one of the first for Leisure & Land and the learning curve was vertical!

The architect was not competent, the timing was too short and the market research non-existent.
