The new water activities centre is being constructed on the banks of the Whitlingham Great Broad, within Whitlingham Country park - owned by the Whitlingham Trust, with the landmark facility set to be run in conjunction with the Trust.
Jackson Building Services is constructing a hardwood timber deck, steps and a ramp and laying concrete foundations, onto which eight, off-site manufactured cabins will be arranged in a large semi-circle.
