North Yorkshire County Council closed all of its centres as part of the national lockdown back in March but did not open Stonefall along with others in May.
Stonefall will reopen tomorrow from 8.30am to 5pm and will be operating the usual six days a week - every day except for Wednesdays.

Staff will be unable to help unload so only take items you can handle yourself and make sure you keep two metres apart.
They will not accept any hardcore, rubble, plasterboard, tyres and wastes from charities along with the other recycling centres.
Cllr Andrew Lee, North Yorkshire County Council’s Executive Member for Waste Management, said:
“We are really pleased to be able to re-open this very popular site. It is one of the busiest sites in the county, so it has taken a little bit longer to be able to open it safely. We have worked hard with our contractors, Yorwaste, to be able to reopen this site to ensure the safety of staff and the public."
Hand sanitising facilities at sites are limited, so people are advised to wear gloves on-site and are reminded to wash their hands before and after attending.
