Blue Lagoon Water Park is an indoor waterpark near Canaston Bridge, Narberth in Pembrokeshire, Wales in the Bluestone National Park Resort.[1][2][3] It opened in 2008.[4]

Features

[edit]

The waterpark features a beach-style swimming pool with a wave machine, spa pools, river rapids ride, two water flumes, a lazy river that takes you outside, a pirates’ shipwreck and a separate wet play area for children in the water cove.[2][5][6][7]

Blue Lagoon is only available for residents of Bluestone Resort who have "unlimited access".[8]

The waterpark is heated with locally-sourced biomass.[9] In 2022, it was rated "excellent" by the Royal Life Saving Society UK.[10][11]

The park was closed for over a year during the COVID-19 pandemic in Wales, re-opening to only residents of Bluestone resort in April 2021, by April 2022 the water park had retained the exclusive policy. The move was criticised by locals.[4][12]

Construction

[edit]

The roof structure is constructed of timber frame, covered in wood tiles and two layers of transparent plastic.[citation needed]
