Operator M&D (Leisure) Ltd contacted its 165 staff yesterday informing them they were being made redundant with immediate effect.
The company had already reduced its staff numbers at the theme park staff and the Alona Hotel in Strathclyde Park during the coronavirus lockdown, BBC News reports.
The Motherwell-based park opened in 1996 and had more than 40 attractions.
M&Ds said in a statement: “It has been a challenging few years and we have worked really hard to try to diversify and keep the business afloat. Like many leisure businesses, the plans we had for the 2020 season have had to be cancelled due to COVID-19.
“We explored all options to try and safeguard the business and jobs of our colleagues, many of whom are longstanding, however, it is with a heavy heart that we are having to make 165 employees redundant.”
