Activities are set to include cable water-skiing, windsurfing and kayaking
A watersports lake hosting activities including cable water-skiing, windsurfing and kayaking could open just an hour’s drive from Greater Manchester. Plans have been submitted to Preston City Council for the lake, along with a 12m high dry ski slope.
Huge climbing wall facilities, high ropes, a large wave pool, skate park, 4G football pitch and off-road biking are some of the features included in the wider masterplan for the site, with this recent planning application forming Phase 2. The site is located on Preston Docklands, accessed off Wallend Road via Riversway, and if approved will be open to the public to enjoy.The planned ski slope will be 95-metre-long slope, at a gradient of approximately 11 degrees.
The masterplan is the brainchild of Edward Sloan who formed Trax Motorsport in January 2000 on the banks of the River Ribble. The company was set up to help the local council and police deal with illegal riding of motorcycles on public land and spaces and did so by create a safe, managed place on the land formerly known as Preston Docks to ride off-road motorbikes.
