A NEW £500,000 investment has created additional attractions at Ocean Edge Leisure Park, the holiday home development at Heysham, near Morecambe.

Visitors can now take advantage of a new bowling green, Mediterranean-style caf bar and Jolly Rodger's play den, a children's indoor play area, in addition to the existing facilities which include bar, cabaret lounge, pool, sauna and amusement arcade.

The new development which opened last weekend brings to £2 million the total amount which South Lakeland Caravans has invested in Ocean Edge since it acquired the park in 1996.

There has been an ongoing programme of work to upgrade the quality of the park, enhance the landscaping and develop new and improved leisure facilities.

The work has more than doubled the number of holiday homes available on the 90-acre park, which is located in a cliff-top setting close to historic Heysham village.

It now has 650 privately owned caravans, as well as a further 50 available for rent, and has 100 pitches for tourers.

The facilities are also open to day visitors.

Director John Morphet said: "Our ongoing programme of improvements aims to improve our offering to customers and develop the park to its full potential.

Ocean Edge is a popular park and offers customers from as far afield as Glasgow and London the chance to acquire an attractive holiday home at value for money prices."
