An Hour on Erne Island’s Inflatable Playground: Slides, Trampolines and Wind‑blown Lough Oughter Splash
A one-hour session on an inflatable obstacle course at Erne Island Water Park in Butlers Bridge — this guide explains what to expect, what’s provided, and how to plan.
An Hour on Erne Island’s Inflatable Playground: Slides, Trampolines and Wind‑blown Lough Oughter Splash.
Perched on the calm reaches of Lough Oughter at Butlers Bridge, the Erne Island Water Park stages an inflatable obstacle course of slides, climbing frames and trampolines that promises an hour of buoyant, kinetic play. Run by Cavan Adventure Centre, the activity is framed as a compact, high-energy session suitable for family groups and delivers safety equipment and instruction before participants head out onto the water.
Highlights
Outing Highlights
A tightly packed inflatable course of slides and climbs
The waterpark combines slides, trampolines and climbing frames into a single inflatable play circuit that lets participants bounce, climb and slide across interconnected elements before falling into the soft water of Lough Oughter.
Play on Lough Oughter’s sheltered water
Sessions take place on the sheltered waters of Lough Oughter, where the soft water provides a forgiving landing for falls from the inflatables and underpins the park’s accessible, family‑oriented tone.
All essential safety kit is provided
Participants are issued a wetsuit, buoyancy aid and helmet before being taken out to the waterpark, and staff deliver instructions on getting on and off and basic safety procedures.
What the day feels like
How the hour unfolds
After kit‑up and a short safety briefing, you’re escorted out to the floating course for a sixty‑minute session of continuous play: climbing, launching off trampolines, sliding and re‑entering the water. The format is informal — once briefed, visitors are free to pick their lines and push the inflatables at their own pace, with staff nearby to manage safety and transitions.
