PROVO — The company that owns the Seven Peaks Provo Water Park has filed for bankruptcy.

Parkprovo LLC filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on Monday, according to a statement posted on the park’s website Tuesday. It’s unclear what that means for the management of the park in the future, according to the statement.

“No arrangements have been made for the Provo Water Park to operate as a Seven Peaks facility during the 2018 summer season,” the statement reads.

Parkprovo LLC and Seven Peaks are completely separate corporations, according to the statement.

It is also unlikely that the Provo Water Park will be included in the Pass Of All Passes for the 2018 season, the company said. Seven Peaks locations in Lehi and Salt Lake City will remain on the pass, which includes seasonal passes for more than 20 entertainment and recreational venues across Utah.

The park has faced several legal difficulties, as well as ownership changes, in the past few years. Court documents filed last month revealed that it was unlikely the park would open by its usual opening date in May.

The park also had yet to complete several projects, including equipment repairs and staff hires, which would likely push back the season start date, according to the court documents.

The park's ownership had been transferred from another owner in 2016, and it has been operating under a leaseback agreement where the park retained Seven Peaks management, the company said in a statement last month.

In Tuesday’s statement, Seven Peaks representatives said they would not be making further comments unless circumstances change.

Earlier this month, Seven Peaks public relations representative Cheryl Snapp Conner told KSL.com the company had more to say, but was holding off on making comments for the time being.

"There is clearly much more that Seven Peaks management would like to say, and we look forward to telling that story as soon as possible," Conner said in an email. "But to ensure that story is meaningful to the concerns you will have, we will wait to tell that story or to make further comments until the uncertainty about the operation of the Seven Peaks Provo facility for the 2018 season is resolved. It is our hope it will be resolved quickly."
