Plopsaqua

Plopsaqua is a chain of waterparks in Belgium operated by Plopsa, consisting of two parks: Plopsaqua Hannut-Landen in Hannut, Liège (opened 2021), and Plopsaqua De Panne in De Panne, West Flanders (opened 2015). The De Panne park was developed as part of a partnership between Plopsa and the municipality of De Panne, with Plopsa building and operating the facility while the municipality paid an annual fee and residents enjoyed reduced prices. Construction began in October 2013 after permit approval in October 2012, and it opened during Plopsa's 15th anniversary.

The Hannut-Landen park was built to replace outdated municipal pools in collaboration with Hannut and Landen municipalities. The project cost €22.5 million, with contributions from both municipalities. After initial permit rejections due to environmental concerns, construction started in July 2019. The sports pool opened in December 2020, delayed by COVID-19 restrictions, while the rest of the park opened in June 2021.

Future projects include Plopsaqua Warsaw (co-owned with Momentum Capital) and Plopsaqua Haßloch, which was canceled in 2023. Other planned but canceled parks were Den Haag (2022), Pulderbos (closed permanently in 2023), and Mechelen (withdrawn in December 2024 due to legal and economic challenges).
