Book the Right New Forest Water Session and Arrive Ready
New Forest Water Park is a timed outdoor activity venue, so the important job is not only finding the address. You need the correct booking route, arrival buffer, activity rules, parking cost, clothing rules and safety briefing time before you travel.
This upgraded guide gives the official address, price checks, eligibility rules, contact help, parking notes, map route and mistake-proof checklist in a scan-first layout for families, beginners, groups and campers.
The official address is New Forest Water Park, Ringwood Road, Fordingbridge, Hampshire SP6 2EY. The official contact page lists phone 01425 656 868 and email info@newforestwaterpark.co.uk.
- Aqua Park is listed at £22 per person for a 1-hour online-booked session including safety brief.
- Aqua Park users must be aged 6+, over 110cm and able to swim 50m with a buoyancy aid.
