New Forest Water Park

New Forest Water Park is a family-run spot tucked away in the Hampshire countryside, right on the edge of the New Forest National Park near Fordingbridge.

It is all about watersports and outdoor fun, with a big focus on activities like wakeboarding on their cable systems, kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, and open water swimming.

The main draw for many is the inflatable aqua park, which is basically a floating obstacle course on the lake that’s great for families and groups looking for a laugh.

They have been going for over three decades now, and it is set across some lovely lakeside grounds with options for camping in wooded pitches if you fancy staying over.

Facilities include changing rooms, a cafe serving things like pizzas and snacks, and a bar for chilling out after. It is open seasonally, mostly in the warmer months, and you can book sessions online for most activities.

Visitor reviews are generally positive, with an overall rating around four out of five from hundreds of people, praising the fun vibe and helpful staff in lots of cases.

Folks often say it is brilliant for kids over six, with the inflatables being a highlight, though some mention issues like wasps buzzing around in summer or the place feeling a bit crowded at peak times.

Recent feedback from this year has been mixed – some love the improvements to the food and the safety focus, while others grumble about parking hassles or strict rules.

If you are into active days out, it seems like a solid choice for a splashy adventure.
