Alpamare is a water park in Scarborough, England.
History
Planning permission for the park was granted in 2012 as part of a development called The Sands located in Scarborough's North Bay. In July 2016 it was announced that the park would be opening on 28 July, however, the opening was delayed. It instead opened on 30 July 2016. A spa opened in 2019.
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.
