Velocity Leisure have acquired the adventure centre in Otterspool as they continue to grow as one of the leading leisure groups in the North West.
With centres already established in Widnes and Wigan, Velocity Leisure’s portfolio continues to grow as they now take over the adventure centre in South Liverpool.
There’s already plans to open a third branch by the beginning of 2018 in Speke alongside children’s soft play venues Funtown and Spaceworld.
Otterspool is the home to one of Europe’s largest aerial assault course with adrenaline-pumping activities such as abseiling and a power fan jump is set for a major makeover.
Steven Cosgrove, Velocity Leisure’s managing director, said: “Having established a leisure brand that caters for all ages, our portfolio focuses predominantly on indoor activities – these being soft play fun for tots, trampolining, climbing walls and Ninja Warrior assault courses for children and teens, without forgetting our novel exercise classes for adults.
“With that in mind, we wanted to further extend our broad spectrum of fun for all the family and introduce a unique taste of the great outdoors.
“Using our extensive experience within the leisure industry, our takeover at Otterspool Adventure Centre will go on to add a new dimension to the adrenaline-pumping outdoor activities that have been tailored to entertain and challenge.
“In line with our major alternation plans to expand the venue’s current offerings, we are set to lower the current price of the high ropes to make them more attractive to our visitors whether they be new or existing.
“The overall aim is to offer an alternative outdoor space for youngsters and adults to keep active and healthy, all the while having fun.”
Since opening their first venue back in 2010, Velocity Leisure has now created 200 jobs across the North West with the latest addition in Otterspool.
Steven added: “While the majority of our venues are based in out of town locations such a retail parks and industrial estates, Otterspool Adventure Centre offers a refreshing new idyllic setting.
“Again, situated just outside of the hustle and bustle, the highly accessible venue located on Otterspool’s iconic promenade makes for the perfect day out pre or post stroll.
“As part of the adventure park’s holistic approach, the venue is also home to a soft play area and bouncy village, which are suited to our mini visitors.
“What’s more, mums and dads can sit back and relax in our in-house eatery Otters Café as they while away the day and take in the impressive riverside views.”
