About Dudley Water Sports Centre Ltd


Sunset Over Lake


Dudley Water Sports Centre is a fun day out for the whole family.

Dudley Water Ski & Yacht Club was formed in 1963, for the sports of water skiing and sailing.  We lease the lake from Dudley Council, after they brought it from Severn Trent Water.  We then built the clubhouse and changing rooms.  Later two SCUBA diving clubs joined us, to make it a group of four independent sports clubs sharing the water and other facilities.  Dudley Water Ski & Yacht Club changed it's name to Dudley Water Sports Centre, and was incorporated in November 1997 and became a limited company.

On the 13th August 1988 we celebrated our 25th anniversary the event was opened by the Mayor of Dudley, Mrs Celia Hough.
