It took 18 hours last week to pump 33,000 cubic metres of water into the man-made lake at the centre of Surf Snowdonia, in preparation for its opening on 1 August 2015.

Surf Snowdonia is the new surfing and water sports park under construction in the village of Dolgarrog, set in the foothills of the Snowdonia National Park in north Wales.

Surf Snowdonia features a 300 metre-long ‘Wavegarden’, an artificial surfing lagoon with waves of varying heights up to 6ft and designed for all abilities from beginners to professional surfers. Surf Snowdonia will also host events, competitions and surfing demonstrations.

The facilities will be available for corporate days out and for team-building events. Camping pods will be available for overnight stays.

A hub building will complement the Wavegarden facility. This will include a glass-fronted café, restaurant and bar as well as changing facilities. Other activities around the site will include woodland trails and outdoor event spaces. Accommodation units are pencilled in for future development.

Surf Snowdonia is seven miles from the main A55 North Wales arterial route and approximately an hour and half from Liverpool and Manchester city centres.
