Sc2 Launches Autism And Disability Friendly Summer Sessions

SC2, the new water park and adventure centre in Rhyl, is launching Summer Autism and Disability friendly sessions to give children and adults with autism an opportunity to enjoy the waterpark as well as Ninja TAG Active in a more relaxed environment over the school holidays.

Following on from the success of the Autism and disability friendly sessions within the waterpark during term time, customers were keen to see an Autism friendly session with the Ninja TAG Active arenas over the Summer.

Four dates have now been announced for this, including 6.30pm to 8pm on Thursday 1^st and 15^th August for the Ninja TAG arenas and 6.30pm to 8pm on Friday 2^nd and 16^th August for the waterpark.

Each waterpark session will run with no music and will have free entry for carers, limited announcements and state of the art specialist accessible changing rooms, including facilities with a track hoist. There will be only selected slides running and exclusive access to the water with limited numbers in the pool and the Piranha Play. With a ratio of one carer for each participant and no age limit, these sessions not only offer an accessible activity for those with additional needs, but also value for money as carers can take part for free.

Each Ninja TAG session will run with no music, will have free entry for carers and limited tannoy announcements.

Councillor Bobby Feeley, Cabinet Lead Member for Health and Well-being, said:  “Following feedback from customers over the last month of Autism and Disability friendly sessions within the waterpark, we feel these sessions are incredibly important to ensure that all members of our community are catered for and are able to enjoy the waterpark in a suitable environment. We appreciate that customers with autism may feel overwhelmed by the fully operating site so during these sessions we are limiting numbers in the pool, only running specific slides and creating a quieter session with no music or announcements. We are committed to providing an offer for the community that everyone can enjoy and benefit and hope that our customers will enjoy the four new sessions over the Summer.”

These sessions will run between 4pm and 6pm Thursday 1^st and 15^th August at 6.30pm – 8pm in Ninja TAG and Junior Ninja TAG and the waterpark Friday  2^nd and 16^th August at 6.30pm – 8pm. These sessions can be booked in the standard way online during these times: http://www.sc2rhyl.co.uk
