Centre Parcs reveals subtropical area plans for Woburn
POSTED 12 Jun 2013 . BY Tom Anstey
Centre Parcs has revealed designs for the new Subtropical Swimming Paradise, which will be part of the new Woburn Forest village in Bedfordshire, set to open in spring 2014.

Woburn Forest will have the largest of Centre Parcs' Subtropical Swimming Paradises, with features that include water rapids, a wave pool, toddler pool, family play area, Lazy River and three new water rides; Tornado, Twister and Typhoon.

The area will be heated all year round to 29.5C in order to house tropical plants which would not survive at lower temperatures.

Building on the facility is going well with the roof and basements works almost completed. The entire structure is scheduled for completion by January 2014, which is when the tropical plants will be brought in.

The full Woburn Forest Centre Parcs facility is set to open in the Spring of 2014.
