A section of Center Parcs is expanding significantly with the introduction of new treehouse accommodation and exciting attractions. Center Parcs Longford Forest in Ireland is undergoing a €100 million renovation, which includes the addition of new lodges, a thrilling aerial ride, and a lakeside restaurant.
Plans at the park involve incorporating 83 new lodges, along with the introduction of tree houses similar to those found at other Center Parcs locations. These tree houses, spanning two levels and accessible via tree walkways, come with amenities such as hot tubs, saunas, and gaming areas for children.
Recent developments at the site include the availability of 80 new lodges for booking between December 2026 and April 2027. These accommodations cater to various needs, including larger group lodges, adapted lodges, and dog-friendly options. Additionally, there have been name changes for certain accommodations, with the Executive Lodge now known as a Forest Lodge and the Executive Plus Lodge rebranded as a Grand Forest Lodge.
Adding to the existing facilities like adventure golf and the Aquaparc on the lake, a new aerial zipline called Forest Glider is set to open in the autumn. Furthermore, two new escape rooms, The Plant Room and Forest Laboratory, packed with interactive activities, were introduced in December 2025, along with a lakeside restaurant in August 2025.
Center Parcs’ Longford Forest, the first site in Ireland, has welcomed over a million guests since its launch in 2019. Situated around a large man-made lake, the site offers water sports such as canoeing and kayaking. The Subtropical Swimming Paradise on the premises boasts the title of the largest waterpark in Ireland, operating at a constant temperature of 29.5°C throughout the year, with free, unlimited entry for guests.
Attractions at the park include the Wild Water Rapids, a lazy river, and the 100-meter Tropical Cyclone water ride. There are also flumes for children and a whirlpool for relaxation. Additionally, plans for a new Center Parcs site near Hawick, Scotland, with an estimated cost of £350 million, are in progress and could open by the end of 2029.
