About North Yorkshire Water Park
North Yorkshire Water Park, located at Wykeham Lakes just six miles west of Scarborough, is one of North Yorkshire’s largest outdoor adventure destinations. Spanning over 250 hectares, the park offers a wide range of exciting activities both on and off the water, making it the perfect destination for families, groups, and thrill-seekers of all ages.
Visitors can enjoy a variety of water-based adventures including stand-up paddle boarding, kayaking, tandem kayaking, pedalo rides, open water swimming, and wakeboarding. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced rider, the wakeboarding line offers challenges to suit all levels, complete with jumps, ramps, and kickers. The park is also home to several inflatable Aqua Parks, including the ever-popular Warrior, Wipeout, and Splash Kingdom. These action-packed courses feature climbing walls, slides, balance beams, and splash-filled wipeout zones.
Recently added is the magical Unicorn Splash Park, featuring three giant inflatable unicorns, including the world’s tallest. The attraction offers a unique and fun-filled experience with features like a trampoline, a slide, and a five-metre drop into the lake – perfect for daring flips and jumps.
On land, the adventure continues with a wide variety of dry activities. The brand-new outdoor Laser Tag experience offers fast-paced, team-based gameplay in a woodland setting, complete with live scoring and tactical add-ons for a truly immersive experience. There is also a climbing tower and zipline setup for those looking to conquer new heights. Adventure seekers looking to test their skills on dry land can choose from activities such as axe throwing, archery, low ropes and a newly upgraded puzzle room offer something for everyone.
For a more relaxed pace, visitors can take a stroll, jog or cycle around the 2.5-kilometre all-terrain gravelled track that winds through the beautiful lakeside landscape. The park is dog-friendly, though guests are asked to keep dogs on leads to protect the local wildlife and nesting birds.
Fishing enthusiasts can enjoy access to three well-stocked lakes within walking distance of the main leisure lake. These offer specialist trout, predator, and coarse fishing options, catering to anglers of all preferences and skill levels.
When it’s time to take a break and refuel, the Café @ North Yorkshire Water Park is the perfect spot to unwind. The café serves a delicious selection of hot meals, snacks, cakes, barista coffee, pizzas, and burgers, all with stunning views across the lake.
Whether you're seeking high-energy adventure or a peaceful escape in nature, North Yorkshire Water Park offers a unique and memorable experience for everyone
