                                 £5.5M MAKEOVER



X-Leisure recently celebrated the completion of its extensive £5.5 million
extension and modernisation work at Tower Park Leisure Park in Poole, Dorset.



X-Leisure extended Tower Park with the construction of a 16,000 sq ft plaza of
restaurants that has been fully let to KFC, Nandos, TGI Fridays and Flame
Oriental Chinese Buffet.



On the back of X-Leisure's extensive investment, Bowlplex have just completed a
£1.5m refit of their unit at Tower Park.  A local company with a significant
national presence, Bowlplex now has 16 bowling centres across the UK.  With its
head office less than five miles away, Bowlplex views its Tower Park unit as the
flagship destination.



In addition, LA Fitness has just opened a new 16,660 sq ft health and fitness
centre.  Occupying a previously vacant unit on the park, the unit has been taken
on a 25-year lease.



The refurbishment works, completed by ROK, also included the demolition of the
Old Splashdown Tower (part of the water park) and the construction of a new
state-of-the-art Dragon Flume Ride - a 90-metre flume with sound and light
effects.



PY Gerbeau, Chief Executive of X-Leisure, comments:

"Tower Park is an important element in our portfolio of leisure destinations.
One of the UK's very first integrated leisure park destinations to open, Tower
Park has enjoyed continued success since it first opened in 1989.  However, it
was definitely time to modernise the Park, and the major refurbishment has
created exciting new facilities and a fresh 'front of house' image.



The introduction of a variety of new restaurants, a thrilling new water ride,
the refurbishment of Bowlplex and the opening of LA Fitness, enhances the
all-weather facilities for visitors and confirms Tower Park's status as the
leading family fun destination in the region."
