Flamingo Land Owner - Gordon Gibb - says he's confident his company can make a success of Scarborough's Alpamare Water Park.
The firm has signed a 12 month deal with North Yorkshire Council to take over the running of the attraction, which it says should reopen to the public later in July.
North Yorkshire Council, which owns the site, made the announcement yesterday.
Gordon Gibb says the water park is a good fit for his company.
North Yorkshire Council took possession of the site in December last year when the water park’s tenant, Benchmark Leisure Ltd, went into administration. Now that a short-term operator has been found, work to find a permanent solution on the future operation of the site will begin.
The water park, which is located off Burniston Road, features a wave pool, a splash and play pool, four state-of-the-art slides, two outdoor pools, an alpine themed spa and treatment area, and a café and terrace bar. It was purpose-built in 2016 overlooking the North Bay in the seaside town.
Flamingo Land is based at Kirby Misperton near Malton with its theme park, zoo and holiday homes attracting thousands of visitors every year. The company has previously run Pleasure Island in North East Lincolnshire and is the preferred bidder for a new adventure holiday development at Loch Lomond.
