Great Wolf Resort proposal
We have agreed an ‘in principle’ deal for major US-based leisure operator Great Wolf Resorts to build an indoor water park resort next to the leisure park, subject to getting planning permission. Facilities could include a hotel, an indoor water park, conference facilities, as well as family-friendly activities. Local residents would have access to day passes to the indoor water park facilities.
