Adventure water park 'Wild Shore' to open at former West Lothian quarry

A huge adventure water park is set to open at a quarry in West Lothian.

Cable wakeboarding, stand-up paddleboarding, swimming and a unique ‘Aqua Chimp’ floating rope course will be part of the attraction at Wild Shore, which will sit at Daisy Park.

The company, which already operates parks in Dundee, Delamere, Liverpool, and New Brighton, is currently building the unique new feature at the historic brickworks and quarry in Winchburgh.

Opening for the park is scheduled for 2024 and is due to create up to 15 part-time and three full-time jobs, plus more in construction.

The project, which involves a seven-figure investment, is being constructed by Wild Shore and Winchburgh Developments Ltd, with the next step being to submit plans to West Lothian Council.

“We pride ourselves in being able to deliver water activities to all within a safe and managed water environment, along with encouraging many more people to enjoy outdoor swimming in a safe way”.
