Clare Valley holiday park opens $2.6 million resort pool and aquatic play feature

A $2.6 million resort pool and aquatic play feature has been opened at Discovery Parks’ Clare Caravan and Holiday Park in South Australia.

Officially opened to the public and guests just before Christmas, Discovery Parks advise that the “development promises to be a refreshing addition to the region, offering both locals and visitors a fantastic summer escape”.

In addition to visitors, the facility’s value to the local community is being reflected in it being available for the community to enjoy free-of-charge for the entire month of January with locals and guests only needing need only check in with the park’s reception to gain access to this aquatic attraction.

Designed as a resort-style swimming pool and splash park, it features multiple waterslides and nature-inspired theming, complete with rocks, streams, and nature play elements.

Discovery Parks says the development will have a profound impact on the local community with the initiative following a similar aquatic play and pool project at their Barossa property.

With a $150,000 increase in marketing expenditure to draw visitors, this project is expected to generate flow-through benefits amounting to a substantial $2.4 million.

The development aligns with the Clare Valley Council’s ‘Nature like Nowhere Else’ strategy, which aims to provide cutting-edge sensory experiences that leave a lasting impression.

The waterpark itself is designed to be eco-friendly, with water recycling systems, storage tanks, solar power, variable speed pumps, and ozone water purification.
