Denbighshire County Council commissioned OB3 Research in partnership with Professor Max Munday to undertake an economic impact assessment of Rhyl Aquatic Centre. The proposed new development would include a 1200sqm leisure pool, an eight lane 25m swimming pool with movable flooring, indoor and outdoor flume rides, and a children's water play area. It would also host climbing facilities, party rooms, an internal café and outdoor space.
The total investment cost is estimated to be just under £17m. OB3's work provides an independent assessment of the potential economic contribution of the centre, to help inform the Council's decision making processes.
