An independent lifeboat station, Haverigg Inshore Rescue Team, has been based in the village since 1973 assisting those in difficulty around the Duddon coastline.[5]
In 2020, the Lakes first Aqua Park opened in Haverigg, situated on the lagoon, it features an inflatable obstacle course plus other attractions.[6]
