Work progresses on first pop-up waterpark in Western Australia

Work progresses on first pop-up waterpark in Western Australia
November 2, 2015

Construction is underway on the Xscape at the City pop-up waterpark in Perth with more than 50 people currently working on site to ensure the park is ready to open later this month.

The privately funded waterpark will utilise a custom-engineered and world-class water filtration system that will recycle and reuse water to minimise wastage. The system has been designed to Western Australian Department of Health standards and will turn over water every 90 minutes.

Commuters driving along Graham Farmer Freeway in Burswood can now see scaffolding on the Belmont Park site of what will be the main attraction, a 23 metre high, dual‐ lane inflatable racer slide called The Drop, and get an appreciation of its height, which is 14 flights of stairs tall.

Xscape at the City Director Douglas Campbell says he is confident this is the world’s tallest inflatable water slide, stating “we will be inviting a representative from the Guinness Book of Records to confirm this once the park is up and running.

“We’re on track with the build and can’t wait to welcome families and people of all ages through our gates in just a few weeks.”

Other attractions include a four lane 16 metre high slide called The Waterfall, an 8 metre high dual lane slide called The Cliff, a 25  x 25 metre pool and a ‘Dinosaur’ themed self-contained water play pool comprising of six child sized individual slides.

Xscape at the City will also feature dry attractions including Australia’s longest inflatable obstacle course (65 metres long x 8 metres wide) and 18 trampolines plus a separate ‘under 5’ children’s play area with small toys and activities. Both are completely under shade.

Entry to the park for spectators will be just $4 with $2 from every spectator entry donated to Telethon 2016.

Children under 5 years will be free and for anyone aged 5 and over, entry to the park with all day rides will cost $32.50.
