Goodrington Water Park which closed down last year is set to reopen next week. The water park slides were surrounded by trees that the council decided were in a dangerous state and were all cut down. (See here) The lack of trees does make the place look more attractive and will improve the view for those hardy souls who make it to the top of the slide. The no longer there trees will also make the park more visible from the main road which should help the new owners,
Bournemouth-based Splashdown, make a profit running this out of town attraction. (Catch the number 12 from Torquay, Paignton or Brixham to Tanners Road) Goodrington also has a fine beach, boat hire and a big pub with plenty of grub. The steam railway also runs past the beach and there is a train station for trains to Kingswear on the Dartmouth estuary. There are then regular ferry services to Dartmouth.
The overgrown landscaping and debris that had built up over the closed season has been removed and sections of the flume that were badly worn have been replaced and the surfaces of the rides re-done, walls painted and plant overhauled
