The Canny Owl and new lodges on the way at Riverside Wooler in Northumberland
A holiday park operator has released further details on investment plans for its Wooler site.
Verdant Parks is investing over £5m into its holiday park portfolio, including at the Riverside Leisure Park.
It is investing £2 million in its lodges, holiday homes and caravan accommodation, with 75 new fleet being introduced in early spring.
Among the new fleet will be the launch of Verdant Parks’ first-ever neurodivergent caravan. The new caravan has been specifically designed including sensory lights and floor pads, safety features and a specialist bed plus neurodiverse training for the team for a tailored guest experience.
The new caravan will be available from spring at Riverside Wooler and has been developed with Sunseeker Holiday Homes and My Safe Place.
New four-bed lodges will also be available.
Verdant is also investing £1.6m on its food and beverage venues.
In Wooler, The Canny Owl will soon feature a bar, restaurant, games room, soft play, outdoor play area, arcade, and a new look swimming pool with new sauna and plunge pool.
Planning permission for the development was recently approved by Northumberland County Council.
Verdant Parks will also launch brand new menus at all its sites, with the aim of these venues becoming destinations where locals can visit, socialise and dine in addition to park guests and holiday homeowners.
Mike Wilmot, CEO of Verdant Parks, said: “This is a really exciting time for Verdant Parks as we go live with our brand refresh and invest in the facilities and accommodation on our fabulous holiday parks.
"At Verdant Parks we offer more than a holiday as we offer our guests and owners the opportunity to escape the everyday and find themselves close to nature in our vibrantly Verdant spaces.
"Our investment in the holiday parks will provide even more opportunities for our guests and owners to have a wonderful stay and spend precious time with themselves, friends and family.
“We’re especially excited to launch our new brand identity to the world and to shine a spotlight on the amazing communities around our parks. Each park’s identity now plays reference to local wildlife and its natural beauty, letting consumers in on each site’s little piece of wonderful.”
