Funfields to launch Victoria’s first heated outdoor wave pool

With summer just around the corner, Funfields Theme Park has announced that it will launch Victoria’s very first heated outdoor wave pool for its peak season.

Scheduled to open to the public this December, the multi-million dollar development has been under construction since February. Over 600 cubic metres of concrete have been used to build the pool which will have a volume of over 1.5 million litres of heated water pumping out waves up to one metre high.

For those less-inclined to the enjoy the waves, it can be used as a pool to cool off between wave sessions while its edge will include pool-side cabanas available for hire.

The opening of the wave pool, which will be known as Volcano Beach, comes only one year after the launch of Funfield’s record breaking waterslide the Gravity Wave, making the attraction home to three of five record-breaking slides in Australia, according to industry leaders Proslide.

Funfields General Manager of Operations Sam Holdich is thrilled to soon see months of hard work come to life for guests, commenting “continual development of the park is so important to us here at Funfields.

“We want to offer our guests a brand new experience every season that they can’t get anywhere else in Victoria so a wave pool was the perfect fit for us.”

Funfields will be opening this Sunday with the wave pool to be opened in December.

Funfields offers over 24 rides and attractions, including nine thrill seeking adventure rides and over 850 accumulated metres of thrilling waterslide action.

Spread over over 40 acres of verdant Victorian hillside - located a convenient 40 minute drive north of Melbourne - it is also the home of Victoria’s only Stainless Steel Alpine Toboggan Track.
