Over €2 million investment will see exciting changes at Waterworld, Bundoran.
Approximately €2.2 million is being invested into upgrading facilities at Waterworld, Bundoran which will see the addition of a new reception and viewing area, the extension and refurbishment of the changing area to include new cubicles, lockers, showers, toilets and the addition of Bundoran’s first “changing places” facility. An upgrade to disabled access through the changing rooms will also ensure full accessibility for guests.
As a result of these major works, Waterworld will open later in the season than usual for 2025, with an opening date in line with school summer holidays, to be confirmed soon.
Bundoran Waterworld CLG Director, Councillor Micheal McMahon said ‘this work is a significant investment from Donegal County Council, which also owns the facility, and shows their commitment to the town of Bundoran as an important tourism destination in the county. Additions like the changing places facility are of key importance to Waterworld so that all guests, particularly those with limited mobility, can be comfortable on their visit. While we won’t be opening as early as usual this year, I’m confident that guests will be happy with all the changes which will improve the customer experience and completely modernise the facility and let it thrive for many years to come.”
General Manager of Bundoran Waterworld CLG Áine Temple added ‘it’s an exciting time for Waterworld as the last major investment here took place more than 10 years ago. These renovations will allow for more guest comfort from the moment they arrive, get themselves pool ready and even down to the air handling in the arena which will help to regulate the temperature to a constant comfortable level. In addition, as we consider the future sustainability of the facility, the upgrade works will significantly decrease the energy consumption for Waterworld as a whole.”
2025 will be Waterworld’s 34th season with the works allowing for increased capacity. An opening date will be announced imminently.
