A new aqua park is set to transform the watersports scene in Blackpool, just an hour from Manchester, as Wild Shore opened its doors on Wednesday, 29 May. Situated at Ream Hills Holiday Park, this exciting new adventure hub is full of outdoor activities suitable for all ages and abilities.

Featuring a giant floating playground, the Aqua Park boasts Ninja Warrior-style challenges, including the Tire Run, Ninja Jump, Eagles Nest, and the towering Mount Rainier, which is 3.8 meters high. Designed to offer a safe yet thrilling experience, it's perfect for those seeking adventure on the water.

For those looking to master wakeboarding, Wild Shore offers one-to-one instruction from qualified teachers, with a money-back guarantee if you don't get up on your first session. Stand-up paddleboarding is also available through lessons or hire, catering to all levels and preferences.

Open-water swimming is another option, with safety instructors stationed on SUP boards and rest pontoons strategically placed along the course. For those seeking something more adrenaline-fuelled, the Ringo is a three-person rubber float pulled around the lake at high speed.
