Greenspan Projects Ltd., a creative design and build specialist, has announced a new partnership with Seal Bay, a Cove Communities resort, where it is creating a brand new indoor adventure attraction, set to open in summer 2023.
Seal Bay Resort, formerly Bunn Leisure, is a multi-award-winning holiday park on the South Coast. It is a popular choice for family beach holidays, self-catering breaks and more. The operator wanted to enhance its offer by utilising some existing space for a new adventure attraction and turned to Greenspan Projects to bring their vision to life.
Introducing The Dockyard
The Dockyard will be home to a new indoor climbing frame and walls, with bounce nets on the ceiling. There will also be indoor adventure play and adventure golf. In addition, the Bowling Bay will be refurbished.
Fans of clambering and climbing will be able to enjoy a range of climbing walls, ranging in difficulty and suitable for everyone from novices to expert climbers. Visitors will be able to climb the rigging and make their way to the top. Here, they can then decide whether they are brave enough to take on the challenge of the nets. With three suspended bounce nets to choose from, guests can bounce stand jump while enjoying a bird’s eye view of the adventure complex.
The indoor adventure golf is family-friendly, inviting guests to hop on board for a voyage complete with dastardly obstacles and challenges.
A strong partnership
Talking about the project so far, Gordon Bush, head of activities and leisure at Cove UK, says:
“Working with Greenspan to convert what was a fairly standard sports hall into a wonderous space filled with adventurous activities has been an adventure in itself. We are really looking forward to opening the doors to team training later in May and then to our guests to enjoy in June. Greenspan have taken a fantastical idea and are turning it into a reality.”
Gordon Walker, Cove UK operations director, adds:
“Our Directors challenged us to find the best in class developers that would support and add value to our business. We spent 18 months trying to find the right supplier for Cove UK who could fulfil our briefs. When we reached out to Greenspan they listened to our brief and came back with a project that literally left us speechless. We knew right then that we wanted to present this to our Directors because it didn’t just fit the brief, it would blow them away.
“Making a business case to spend millions was made easier as the project brief told an imaginative story backed up with jaw-dropping equipment themed all around the Dockyard. Greenspan have been brilliant to partner with and we were so impressed that we added two other projects to our parks in Scotland that have again paid homage to their magnificent locations alongside imaginary play to take the resorts to a whole new level of amazing customer experience.”
High levels of detail & skill
Rod Morton, CEO of Greenspan Projects, says: “This has been incredibly exciting to work on with Cove UK, as part of their new development for Seal Bay Resort. What strikes me most is the sheer level of detail that has gone into the technical design and planning for this project – which has so many levels to it… in more ways than one!
“Our team are highly skilled when it comes to bringing the imagination to life and making sure safety elements are of paramount importance, yet they also work so closely with our clients to ensure they can bring dreams to reality… and that’s what it’s all about. On behalf of the whole Greenspan team, it has been a great experience and we can’t wait to see the finalised attraction in full swing.”
Recently, the Greenspan Projects team spoke to blooloop about their work in the growing competitive socialising space, highlighting projects with leaders in the field such as Boom Battle Bar in the UK and Puttery in the US.
