COMMUNITY OUTDOOR SWIMMING POOL PROPOSAL

We are a group of local people who have come together with the aim of creating a community-led outdoor swimming pool in Eastville Park. Our vision is to provide a swimming pool which will be welcoming for all communities local to Bristol.

In 1905 the original Eastville Park Swimming Baths was built in Eastville Park, it was bombed during the Second World War and closed due to being unsafe.

Eastville Park swimming baths was once a hub for the community that promoted health and well-being. We are excited by the possibility of a swimming pool returning to Eastville Park, to give everyone in our community access to outdoor swimming activities in nature.

But this is a long term project, run by volunteers. At this stage of the project we are undertaking widespread community engagement, consultation and preparing for fundraising.
