A POPULAR waterpark is set to close for up to six months.
The Time Capsule in Coatbridge will close in March 2025 to allow for essential upgrades.
The rest of the complex, including the 25m swimming pool, ice rink, and gym, will remain open.
The improvements will include upgrades to the water feature systems, control panels, electrical systems, and pumps.
Councillor Geraldine Woods, convener of communities at North Lanarkshire Council, said: "We know our loyal customers will be disappointed to hear that the waterpark will close for a few months, but the upgrades will guarantee its long-term future.
"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 enhance the building’s appearance.
Updates will be published on the Active and Creative website.
