Leith Waterworld

Leith Waterworld was a leisure pool in Leith, Edinburgh, Scotland. It was built on the site of the former Leith Central railway station. It was one of only two pools in Edinburgh with flumes, and there was also a fast river run. It was closed in January 2012 in order to save funds for the Royal Comm

onwealth Pool's renovation and re-opening. A campaigning group against the closure, called Splashback, were funded to carry out feasibility studies but the property has been converted into a children's soft-play centre.
