In May 2022, Sport Aberdeen announced that the pool would close on 21 August after the summer school holidays as a cost saving measure due to high energy prices. It stated that the situation would be reviewed and the pool could reopen in summer 2023.
On 2 March 2023, the council announced that the leisure centre would close permanently on 16 April 2023, along with Bucksburn Swimming Pool due to a £687,000 reduction in its yearly budget for Sport Aberdeen. The council stated that a new beachfront facility was planned.
