Alpamare water park in Scarborough re opens today
It's just in time for the summer holidays
Scarborough’s Alpamare water park is re-opening to the public today – just in time for the summer holidays.
It's been closed since December last year when the previous operator went into administration.
The team that run Flamingo Land are now in charge of the site.
Wednesday will see the grand reopening.
Flamingo Land CEO, Gordon Gibb, said:
“This opening would not have been possible without a super-human effort from our team and fantastic support from North Yorkshire Council. Without the council team’s professionalism and commitment, this would not have been possible.
“We are now looking forward to welcoming visitors to this amazing attraction for Scarborough, which will be a huge boost for the resort’s summer season.”
North Yorkshire Council’s deputy leader, Cllr Gareth Dadd, added:
“I am delighted that we have managed to get this attraction back open in time for the busy school holidays. It is a massive asset for the town and securing Flamingo Land as the operator is key to its success. It is great to be working with a well-established, local and trusted company.”
North Yorkshire Council took possession of the site in December last year when the waterpark’s tenant, Benchmark Leisure Ltd, went into administration.
Now that Flamingo Land has taken on its short-term operation, work to find a permanent solution on the future operation of the site will begin.
