Aquapark Mallow & Coachford
Our flagship public water activity runs on the lake at both venues. Mallow has the Wibit Peakz Aquapark layout, with more height, more challenge and more visual impact. Coachford has a full-scale course of its own.
This is Ballyhass at full volume: climb it, race it, wipe out on it, laugh your head off and go again. If you want the big public adventure session that delivers energy, spectacle and replay value from the second you hit the water, this is the one. Choose Mallow for the Wibit Peakz layout or Coachford for a different course, or try both.
Trusted, certified and built to stand out
Industry-recognised standards and premium water-activity design make Aquapark one of the strongest public adventure sessions at Ballyhass.

Why Mallow’s layout feels bigger
The new Wibit Peakz concept gives Mallow a more elevated, more dynamic and more premium Aquapark feel. Rather than looking like a standard inflatable course, it creates a stronger sense of scale, movement and challenge out on the water: exactly the kind of upgrade a flagship Ballyhass public activity should have.
More Height & Challenge
Peakz introduces a more vertical feel to the course, creating bigger climbing moments, more dramatic wipeouts and a stronger challenge for older kids, teens, adults and competitive groups.
More Replay Value
Two different courses, one at each venue, give returning customers a new challenge, and Peakz looks great in photos.
Flagship Public Experience
Aquapark is one of the most popular days out at Ballyhass, and the Wibit Peakz layout makes it a headline attraction in its own right.
Big Thrills, Backed by Safety
Ballyhass Aquaparks are built for excitement, but delivered with structure, trained staff, briefings and constant eyes on the water so guests can fully enjoy the session.

Opening times & seasonal availability
Aquapark season runs right through the summer, with availability building as the weather, school holidays and peak demand kick in. Whether you are planning ahead for July and August or looking for a weekend or afternoon session either side of peak season, there are plenty of chances to get on the water.
Best time to book?
For the widest choice of times, July and August will always offer the most availability. For guests who want shoulder-season sessions, keep an eye on weekends and weekday afternoons in May, June and September, and watch out for family-only event sessions on selected early mornings.
What to bring & what to expect
Aquapark is big fun, but it is also a physical outdoor activity. You will be climbing, balancing, slipping, swimming and hauling yourself back onto inflatable features throughout the session, so arriving prepared makes a big difference to how much you enjoy it.

Who should think twice

Watch before you arrive
This short video helps set expectations before your session. It is well worth watching in advance, especially if it is your first time visiting the Aquapark.
Watch it before you travel so your group arrives with a clearer sense of what the session involves and how the Aquapark operates on the day.
Arrive ready and enjoy it more
The more prepared you are, the better the session tends to feel. Bring the right basics, allow enough time on arrival, complete your waiver in advance where possible, and treat Aquapark like the energetic physical activity it is rather than a casual float-around attraction.
Aquapark FAQs
A few of the most common questions before booking. If you are planning for kids, groups or first-timers, this should help you get the basics covered before you arrive.
What is included in the booking?
Your session includes your time on the Aquapark, a wetsuit, a buoyancy aid and a pre-session safety briefing. Ballyhass staff supervise throughout the session.
Do I need to be a strong swimmer for the Aquapark?
You don’t need to be a strong swimmer to enjoy the Aquapark, but you do need to be comfortable and confident in the water. You’ll wear a buoyancy aid throughout the activity and need to be able to make your way through the water to the Aquapark. Our trained team will be there to supervise and support you. Activities operate on a Challenge by Choice basis, so you won’t be forced to complete anything you’re uncomfortable with. If you have concerns about swimming ability or confidence, please contact our team before booking.
Is Aquapark suitable for younger children?
Yes, but supervision rules apply. Ages 6 to 11 must be accompanied by an adult supervisor who takes responsibility for them during the session. If you are booking for younger kids, family-only sessions may also be worth checking when available.
How do I sign my waiver?
Everyone taking part in an activity signs a waiver. When you book, a waiver link is sent to the email address on the booking. Open it, read it and sign for everyone in your party. It takes a couple of minutes.
A parent or guardian signs for anyone under 18, and one adult can sign for several children in the same booking. You can also sign in to your account at any time to see which waivers are outstanding.
Please sign before the day. It saves queueing at reception, and your instructor will already know about any medical conditions or non-swimmers in the group. If you are booking for a school, a club or a large group, talk to us and we will send the waivers out in one go.
Our Waivers page has more detail.
What happens in bad weather/rain?
We have two extremely sheltered sites that have no issues in operating in anything and up to an orange weather warning. Rain in no way affects any activity. The water activities are even more fun! We would advise you to bring an umbrella for your walk from the car to the reception.
Ballyhass Reserves the right to make operational changes at any time which are considered necessary for safety or operational efficiencies. For safety reasons, we may introduce weight restrictions or even activity or site closure.
Is Aquapark very physical?
Yes. It is a physical and active outdoor session. You will be climbing, balancing, slipping, swimming and pulling yourself back onto inflatable features. If you have current or previous injuries, especially to shoulders, knees, ankles, back or neck, it may not be the right activity for you.
Can I book as a group?
Yes. Aquapark works really well for groups, parties, team days and bigger outings. If you are organising a larger group, it is worth checking group package options and availability in advance, especially during busy summer dates.
What else can we add to make more of the day?
If you want to build a bigger Ballyhass day out, there are a few great options. In Mallow, Aquapark pairs really well with the Zipline where availability allows. In Coachford, the All Access Day Pass is a strong upgrade and includes Aquapark, High Nets, Archery and Paddlesports.
Aquapark safety information
Ballyhass Aquapark is a physical and strenuous outdoor activity. The course is made up of inflatable features anchored on the surface of the water, which means it is naturally slippery, unstable and physically demanding. Injuries can and do happen, and all participants should understand the risks before taking part.
Do not use the Aquapark if you have relevant injuries or health concerns
Guests with heart or health concerns, or with pre-existing injuries (especially to knees, shoulders, ankles, back or neck), are advised not to use the Aquapark.
Core rules on the course
These rules are there to protect you, other guests and the flow of the session. All participants are expected to follow Ballyhass staff instructions at all times.
On-water behaviour
- Buoyancy aids must be worn at all times and fitted correctly with safety straps tightened.
- Never swim under the obstacles. Always go over the top of the features.
- Never dive head first into the water from any obstacle. Always enter the water feet first.
- Tread carefully and show caution at all times as the park is slippery and unstable.
- The park is only for use during public opening hours while lifeguards and staff are on duty.
Climbing, jumping & sliding
- Always look up when climbing and never climb underneath another participant.
- Make sure the water and landing area are clear before jumping or sliding.
- The correct sliding position is arms crossed over your chest with feet and legs together.
- If sliding with a friend, do not hold hands. Slide separately.
- Do not slide down any area that has climbing handles attached.
What is not allowed
- No pushing or excessive rough play.
- Younger participants should be given right of way at all times.
- The park must never be used under the influence of medication, drugs or alcohol.
- Failure to follow the rules or staff instructions may result in removal from the Aquapark.
Supervision, waivers & responsibility
Ages 6 to 11 must be accompanied by an adult supervisor who takes full responsibility for them at all times. For groups of under-11s, there must be a maximum ratio of 1 adult to 4 children. All participants must have a waiver signed. An adult can sign for multiple under-18 participants, but every adult must sign their own waiver.
Staff support during the session
Ballyhass staff supervise from the course and from stand up paddle boards throughout the session. They are there to assist you, so raise your hand or call for help if needed. If you have difficulty getting back onto the equipment, use the low walkways connecting the bigger features to the Kaos middle section and follow staff direction.
