History
The water park first opened in 1988 as Quaywest and it was run for 15 years by Freetime Lesiure Management. Due to heavy financial losses Freetime Leisure Management handed the keys back to the council in September 2008. Torbay council awarded the contract to run the park to Lemur Leisure Ltd, the company running the Splashdown water park in Poole, Dorset initially on a five and half year basis. The park was re-opened in June 2009 as Splashdown@Quaywest and is now known as simply Splashdown Quaywest.
