A brand-new family attraction is coming to Warrington as part of the Cockhedge redevelopment.
Rocafella Leisure Group will open the UK’s first dedicated Slide Park, Slidie Sliderson, following a £2 million investment in the site’s transformation.
The new 25,000 square foot venue will offer high-energy fun for all ages and is expected to bring an extra 150,000 visitors to Cockhedge each year. It’s a major step forward for the development and marks a key milestone in reshaping this part of the town centre.
Known for creating active, family-friendly experiences such as Total Ninja, Rocafella is bringing something fresh and exciting to Warrington. The new Slide Park will also create up to 40 new jobs and support the local community by partnering with junior sports clubs.
Chris Hayes, founder and managing director of Rocafella Leisure Group, said: “What drew us to Cockhedge was the clear vision for revitalisation and the opportunity to be part of a transformative development. The location is ideal for Slidie Sliderson, which brings a fresh, innovative attraction to the North West of England with never-before-seen attractions.”
Cockhedge is part of a wider plan to reshape Warrington’s town centre. The long-term vision includes new homes, better public spaces and a focus on making the area more welcoming for people to live, work and visit.
Michael Brown, co-founder of Altered Space, said: “This letting to Rocafella Leisure Group is a fundamental piece of the long-term vision for Cockhedge and the regeneration of Warrington town centre. It perfectly underscores our commitment to delivering a commercially sustainable scheme that enhances Warrington’s town centre offering.”
Further tenant announcements are expected over the coming months, with the goal to bring fresh energy and opportunities into the town centre, supporting its long-term future.
