Description

Description
Hilsea Lido first opened in 1935 having been designed by Joseph Parkin, the Portsmouth City Engineer, in a Modernist style. It was conceived as part of a pleasure park on former military land and quickly became a popular attraction serving as a training pool for the British 1936 Berlin Olympics team.

The pool was built for a capacity of 750 people with space for a further 1000 spectators. There was a 10m diving tower on the site but this was removed in the 1970s.

Adjoining the pool is the Blue Lagoon, a former function venue, and a public splash pool facility, served by adjacent parking.

Location
Highly accessible gateway location within the historic Hilsea Lines alongside the A27/M27 that is undergoing transformation.
