A WATER park is set to reopen this weekend with a limited range of activities that can adhere to social distancing rules.

Open water swimming, stand up paddle boarding and kayaking are some of the options availble at North Yorkshire Water Park, at Wykeham Lakes, near Scarborough.

The water park opened three years ago with a range of family friendly water-based activities, including the popular inflatable AquaPark.

It has been closed since March because of the pandemic.

Manager Andrew Backhouse said: “We’re thrilled to be able to open a limited range of activities this summer season, within the social distancing guidelines.

"We hope these activities will give people a chance to get out and do something different as the lockdown eases.”

The park's fishing lakes opened in May in line with guidelines.
