Facility Fees

Facility fees are payable at the main centre and provide use of the centre and site including the changing rooms and showers.

Facility Fees:
£7 per day for WCA/BCU/SCA/CANI/ICA members
£14 per day for non-members

These facility fees are payable on the day and, to be eligible for the reduced rate, proof of membership must be shown. Once you have paid your water fees you will be issued with a day ticket which must be displayed/carried at all times. Spot checks are made on river users and if you don't have a day ticket you will have to pay again.

Why is there a charge?
The day/season ticket charges are a facility fee. You may be interested to learn that the income from facility fees is used to cover the following:

Construction and maintenance - riverside trails, access points i.e. Bala Mill fencing & portage trail
Provision and maintenance of car parking facilities
Provision of Café facilities
Provision of management staff and first aid services
Purchase of water - a significant amount of water releases are purchased to allow boating/rafting to take place - about £28,000 was spent by Canolfan Tryweryn to purchase/secure water releases in 2004. If this money was not spent the river would be dry for many days of the year.
Shower and changing facilities
River works and maintenance

And probably most importantly:

All profits generated from the operations of Canolfan Tryweryn are used to fund the work of the Welsh Canoeing Association (a non-profit making organisation), to develop Canoesport throughout Wales (subsidised coaching courses for clubs, negotiating and maintaining access on other rivers, supporting national squads in freestyle, slalom, river racing, polo etc)
