Heaton Park Family Attraction Leisure Opportunity

Tender description

<p>We are preparing to present to the market the opportunity to play a key part in an exciting new facility as we seek to create a new family attraction at Heaton Park. We are looking to add in an attraction that fits in with our already amazing facilities with an added wow factor. Heaton Park is a destination park and the heart of Manchester, whose spirit is evoked through its stories of music, sport and escape from the city. Celebration, adventure, and relaxation at Heaton Park unite the many generations of visitors that have enjoyed the Park as a private and then public space. The theme for the Spirit of Place is: Innovation and boldness; adventure and escape. At 640 acres it is one of the largest municipal parks in Europe and is already one of the most popular sites in Manchester, with circa 1.8 million visits per year. With the exception of 2013, the Park has been proudly flying the Green Flag award since 2002. This is thanks to our devoted volunteers and staff, who work all year round to keep the Park looking beautiful. The provision of top-quality activities and services in Heaton Park is vital to the improvement and development of the Park&rsquo;s visitor facilities, adding to the visitor experience and helping to turn a good visit into a great one. Heaton Park attracts a large number and wide range of visitors from across the north west region and beyond; we want to introduce a vibrant, modern approach that reflects this diversity and works hard to fulfil the needs of all our visitors. The size of the Park and the nature of the landscape mean individuals or groups can choose from a variety of high-quality leisure activities or escape into Manchester&rsquo;s countryside in the city. From the animal centre, adventure play, High Ropes and nets course, beekeepers, the boating lake, caf&eacute;s and culture, to the garden centre, golf, picnics, Parklife, funfairs, trams and theatre, there will be something to suit everyone. We are looking to add in an indoor family attraction and activities within the park to keep families and visitors engaged, excited and desperate to return. We would love to work alongside you and introduce a brand new family attraction that is bespoke and unique and becomes a visitors destination all by itself. We are excited for partners to come and propose how an indoor family attraction can fit into our outdoor woodland adventure theme within Heaton Park, bringing the forest indoors, creating an indoor splash stream or a unique adventure play, we want to work with you and are open to ideas you have for this special place. This family attraction will engage families and capture the imagination of all that attend. An initial briefing document has been published with this advert which provides more detailed information regarding the project.</p> Keywords: Heaton Park, Family Attraction Leisure Opportunity
