Council takes on Scarborough water park as operators go into liquidation

North Yorkshire Council has taken possession of the Alpamare waterpark in Scarborough after the tenant of the North Bay attraction, Benchmark Leisure Ltd, went into administration in October this year..

Contractors working for the authority will now undertake assessments and ensure the site is safe before options are explored to consider its future. The facility features indoor and outdoor pools, waterslides and a spa.

Assistant director for commercial, property and procurement, Kerry Metcalfe, said: “We are committed to ensuring that all the necessary assessments and work is undertaken in a thorough and professional manner and that we consider all options for the future operation of the site.

“Through this, it is hoped that measures will be in place to open the facility in time for the main 2024 summer season. We will keep the public updated as the necessary work progresses.”
