North Wales waterpark sets long awaited date to reopen
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info A North Wales waterpark is set to reopen next month. SC2 waterpark - dubbed the 'new Sun Centre' after the famous former attraction - was opened in 2019 after a £15m investment on Rhyl seafront. But it was damaged by storms at the end of 2023 and was forced to close. This was one of a number of blows to Rhyl in recent times, with the multi-screen cinema and SeaQuarium closing, and the Skyflyer failing to take off. Today Denbighshire Leisure Ltd (DLL) announced the waterpark was reopening on July 5. They said new attractions had been added and that there would be discounts for locals. The new additions include a free adventure play structure in the Rainforest Diner that has been built for visitors. Bookings for the attraction open today. A DLL spokesperson said: "Unfortunately, due to storm damage to the roof at SC2, the waterpark has been closed for over a year. The repair work required was extensive, but the final touches are now being confirmed and the DLL team have pulled out all the stops to get the waterpark back open ready for the start of July."

The damage to the roof was extensive, but we were never going to let that get us down. SC2 is the jewel in Rhyl's crown and our priority was to re-open the attraction as soon as we possibly could.

As one of the Denbighshire 's biggest employers, we are proud to have recently taken on another 30 people at SC2, and will be reopening with an exciting team, who can't wait to give everyone the very best customer experiences. "This year, we want to give visitors and residents a summer of fun and happy memories at SC2, and we can't wait to see you all in July, with exclusive discounts for locals as a thank you for their support while we were closed!"
