The popular waterpark attraction at the Time Capsule in Coatbridge will close for up to six months from March to allow essential upgrades to take place.

However, during the closure, all of the other facilities, such as the 25m swimming pool, the ice rink and the gym within complex, will remain open.

The upgrades include improvements to the water feature systems, control panels, electrical systems and replacing the pumps.

“We know our loyal customers will be disappointed to hear that the waterpark will close for a few months, but the upgrades will guarantee it’s long-term future,” said Councillor Geraldine Woods, convener of communities.

“We carried out a detailed survey of the waterpark, which highlighted certain areas requiring improvement.

“In order to complete these, the waterpark will need to close for between four and six months.”

The Time Capsule is one of Lanarkshire’s most popular leisure attractions, drawing over 700,000 visitors annually.

The gym, the busiest in North Lanarkshire, is also set for an upgrade as part of a scheduled improvement programme.

Additionally, work is planned to replace the two non-functioning lifts, improve signage, and to enhance the building’s appearance.

The work is part of a phased approach to improve the overall visitor experience at the Time Capsule.

Updates will be published on the Active and Creative website.
