The sports and event location The Club at Parkwood Village in the heart of the Gold Coast region offers its guests various sportive activities – from golf to trampolining – as well as a diverse gastronomy. In order to expand its activity portfolio in the future, Parkwood Village recently announced the development of a stationary surf location. The expansion project includes the artificial surf pool, which will be supplied by Canadian manufacturer Endless Surf (part of WhiteWater West), and the construction of a new 200-bed hotel and a residential complex.
Luke Altschwager, Managing Director and founder of Parkwood, says: “There is nothing more quintessentially Australian than surfing, and this new technology creating customized repeatable man-made waves is going to revolutionize the sport. I want to make sure Parkwood becomes the heart of the sport here on the Gold Coast. Not only is a world class surf pool a perfect fit for our active community, it anchors a whole new level of economic investment in the area.” The investment sum for the development amounts to 200 million US Dollars (approx. 167.6 million Euros)
Paul Chutter, President of Endless Surf, comments: “There are those projects which epitomize what we are trying to do, with great clients who contribute to our collaborative approach – Luke and the Parkwood team are a perfect example of this. They share our passion for pushing technological boundaries, putting Endless Surf as the heart and soul of their development in order to build a vibrant community hub. […].”
The new Endless Surf location is scheduled to open to the public in 2023. Read more about current artificial surf spot projects in our special feature on “Adventure Sports Parks”, included in our March/April magazine issue. (eap)
