- Water Park
The water park has disabled-friendly pools and changing rooms. The therapy pool has a temperature of 34 degrees and a wheelchair ramp, and the wave pool holds 31 degrees and has a universal design. Roll onto the “beach” of the wave pool and enjoy the experience together with the family. In addition, we provide large family changing rooms and dedicated disabled-friendly changing rooms (please book in advance, key available in reception). Several disabled-friendly parking bays, and easy access everywhere. New, exquisite saunas can be enjoyed for relaxation and peace of mind.
Water Park Equipment
The water park has a dedicated disability-friendly entrance with revolving doors, gate and automatic door opener. Inside, there are 3 wheelchairs available for the public to use both in the shower and in the pools. To provide easy access we have installed large disabled-friendly changing cabins in the communal changing rooms, as well as 3 changing rooms with e.g. hoist, changing tables (height adjustable) and handheld shower. Having a wheelchair ramp, ceiling hoist and mobile hoist means that you can access nearly every nook and cranny in the water park.
