Source Verification and Manual Checking Policy
This page explains how we manually verify venue details, official links, maps, numbers, addresses, and visitor information.
Source Verification and Manual Checking Policy
ukwaterparks.org/ uses a manual checking process for important venue details such as official links, phone numbers, addresses, map locations, visitor rules, and public contact information. The purpose is to reduce confusion and help visitors reach the official source faster.
Sources we prefer
- Official water park and aqua park websites.
- Official leisure centre, council, resort, or operator pages.
- Official booking pages linked by the venue.
- Official safety, visitor guidance, or terms pages published by the venue.
- Official social profiles only when they are clearly linked from the venue website or widely recognised as the venue’s account.
- Reliable map/address sources used alongside official venue information.
Details we manually check
- Venue name and location.
- Postal address, town/county, and map placement.
- Phone number and official contact channels where available.
- Official website and booking link.
- Opening-times wording, seasonal notes, and closure cautions.
- Age, height, swimming ability, accessibility, parking, and safety-rule references where public information exists.
Manual checking does not mean permanent accuracy
Water parks can update their websites, temporarily close attractions, change prices, adjust capacity, alter session times, update safety rules, or move to a new booking platform. Manual checking helps improve quality, but it cannot guarantee that every detail remains current at the moment a visitor reads the page. For booking, payment, travel, or safety decisions, users should verify the latest details directly on the official venue website or with the venue.
How we handle source conflicts
| Situation | Preferred action | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Official website conflicts with third-party directory | Prefer the official website | The venue is usually the final source for visitor details |
| Map pin conflicts with listed address | Check official address and map context manually | Some venues have lakeside entrances, car parks, or resort entrances separate from postal addresses |
| Old cached listing conflicts with current notice | Use caution wording and point users to latest official notice | Seasonal and weather-related changes can happen quickly |
Safety-sensitive details
Where safety is involved, including swimming ability, life jackets, inflatable aqua parks, slides, child supervision, weather closures, water quality, medical restrictions, or injury risk, visitors must rely on the official venue’s current rules and staff instructions.
