David Pieris launches Pearl Bay – a unique leisure destination

David Pieris Group leisure cluster formally opened Pearl Bay at Bandaragama. This unique leisure offering brings together Sri Lanka’s first water park, built and certified to European Health and Safety Standards and an FIA/CIK certified leisure and professional karting track. The facility has four key zones, SplashBay (water slides), SpeedBay (leisure karting), TargetBay (air rifle shooting range) and YumBay (restaurants) as well as relaxation and activity areas for the entire family. The Park will open to public on 26th January and tickets can be purchased on-line from today at www.thepearlbay.com

SplashBay – the water-based zone comprises of four towers and sixteen slides of different thrill levels. The waterpark includes a gravity drop slide of 88 m, a loophole slide of 120 m, a 40 m matt racer slide and a separate kiddies area consisting of a four-slide water play structure.

No expenses were spared when designing and building this facility with customer experience and safety being paramount. The slides were manufactured and commissioned by Arihant Industrial Corporation Limited and after extensive testing the facility was awarded “Fit for Use Certification.” Subsequently, TÜV Nord, an international not for profit certification organisation sent their team to carry out extensive onsite inspection and ensure compliance to European safety standards. Pearl Bay which also incorporates the karting facility previously known as the Sri Lanka Karting Circuit, is spread over 23 acres. The idyllic location surrounded by trees and bordered by a body of water provides “another world” a mere 30 minutes from Colombo and in proximity to the Southern Highway. The location is also available for events of any size from corporate to individual celebrations, with purpose-built entertainment areas and an in-house events team to cater to any requirement.
