Plans submitted for all-year round family entertainment centre on north coast
Ambitious plans to refurbish and extend the Dunluce Centre in Portrush into an all-year round family entertainment centre have been revealed.
Londonderry firm, Westbury Developments Ltd has submitted a Proposal of Application Notice to Causeway Coast & Glens Borough Council.
Designed by Belfast’s GMR Architects, the proposal includes a soft play area, mini golf, an inflata park, a bowling alley and an arcade. New features include a party room, a food court and improved staff facilities. Indoor and outdoor rides are planned, enhancing the centre’s appeal in all weather conditions.
The plans also included expanding the existing car park to accommodate more visitors.
Originally opened in 1993, the Portrush building closed its doors in 2013 due to falling visitor numbers. It was recently sold for around £1.25m to County Donegal businessman Colm O'Donnell after years of setbacks including a fire in 2022.
A public exhibition outlining the plans is expected to be held in Portrush Town Hall on the August 7 (1.30pm - 6pm).
