Alpamare Scarborough
Alpamare is a water park in Scarborough, England.
History
[edit]Planning permission for the park was granted in 2012 as part of a development called The Sands located in Scarborough's North Bay.[1] In July 2016 it was announced that the park would be opening on 28 July,[2] however, the opening was delayed. It instead opened on 30 July 2016.[3][4] A spa opened in 2019.[5]
The water park closed temporarily in October 2023 and two months later was taken over by North Yorkshire Council after the operator Benchmark Leisure Ltd went into administration.[6][7][8]
Facilities
[edit]The park contains four slides, an indoor wave pool, two outdoor pools, a restaurant and bar, and a spa.[2]
