The park has also announced new safety measures.
Families across Ireland will be delighted to hear that Center Parcs Ireland has today announced it will re-open to the public.
The park in Longford Forest will open its doors from Monday July 13th, exactly four months after it closed its doors in response to the global coronavirus pandemic.
In line with government guidance, there will be social distancing and new safety measures in place to protect the families who visit each week and the company’s 1,000 employees.
Center Parcs’ CEO, Martin Dalby, said: “Although it was disappointing to have to close our forest resort within nine months of opening in Ireland, it was the right thing to do to keep our guests and staff safe. The coronavirus pandemic has had a significant effect on the whole country and we always said we would only re-open once we were 100% satisfied it was safe to do so. We’ve had our teams working around the clock to review everything we do, right down to the smallest detail, and we‘re now ready to open our doors again.
“We know that a lot of families were looking forward to their first Center Parcs break and we can’t wait to welcome you to the forest. Those families who have visited us before will notice some changes to the way we’re doing things, but the essence of a Center Parcs break will remain the same, offering a fantastic short break experience within 400 acres of natural woodland.”
The new measures to keep guests and staff safe include:
- Reduced numbers of guests on each break
- Changes to some activities to maintain social distancing
- An enhanced cleaning regime for accommodation and central areas
- Changes to arrival and departure times to allow more time for enhanced cleaning
- Cashless payment only across the village
- Online-only bookings and payment for activities
- New takeaway service offering contactless delivery to lodges
