In 2019, marking its 65th anniversary, Bellewaerde made the most significant investment in its history with the inauguration of a 3000 m² water park. Addressing technical, human and environmental challenges, this second gate with its 100% Bellewaerdian identity should enable the Belgian park to quickly top one million visitors.
With this €17 million project, its biggest investment since it was founded in 1954, Bellewaerde continues to implement its investment strategy initiated a few years ago to boost its offering and renew the visitor experience.
More than just a 4,200 m² water park, Bellewaerde Aquapark offers a fully fledged experience and immersion while observing the three mainstays of Bellewaerdian identity: attractions, animals, and nature.
Like the main park, Bellewaerde Aquapark was built with authenticity and responsibility in mind. 100% natural plants, a real aquarium visible from the lazy river that gives the illusion of swimming among fish, unprecedented water slides like Aquaventure with its huge rubber rings and its outdoor aspect, one of a kind in Europe: the park is also a model of innovation and originality.
Resource management and CSR impact are central to the project. As such, a water recovery system has been set up to reduce consumption and limit waste-water discharges, with any remaining waste-water being purified by the water treatment plant installed in the heart of Bellewaerde, processing 120 m3 each day.
A tourist attraction and economic hub, the park has also worked in collaboration with neighbouring businesses, confirming its role as a major player in the local economic fabric.
