SC2 Rhyl

January 2019

SPACE&PLACE (S&P) designed and developed the SC2 Centre, and served as the project architect, lead designer, and lead consultant for Alliance Leisure. We worked closely with Denbighshire Council’s development partners, including Alliance Leisure and ISG Construction, throughout the design and construction phases.

Originally envisioned as an aquatic, fitness, and leisure facility, the SC2 Centre has since evolved into an innovative, all-year-round water play destination. The centre boasts thrilling flumes and slides, in addition to an interactive ninja run course for all ages. During the summer, the outdoor sun terrace and splash park open, therefore offering families a holiday-style water park experience. Furthermore, a licensed restaurant and diner seamlessly connect the water park and ninja run areas.

The waterpark features breathtaking flume rides, a beach-style paddling area, and interactive play features. Designed for play, the indoor pool includes a maximum depth of 90 cm and a water confidence area that gradually increases from 0 cm to 30 cm, which is ideal for parents and toddlers to splash and build confidence.

Visitors can enjoy thrilling attractions such as the Boomerang, where rubber rings slide back and forth; the Anaconda, a high-speed wave ride in darkness exiting through a snake’s mouth; and the Speedster racing water slide for competitive fun.

For younger guests, Piranha Play offers lower-level interactive water features, toddler slides, water cannons, and tipping troughs. Non-swimmers can also enjoy the beach-entry water confidence area without fear of deeper waters. Additionally, shark showers, waterwheels, and tipping buckets provide additional splashing excitement, ensuring endless fun for everyone.
