East Lindsey District Council: Jubilee Park
Jubliee Park 2067: Erskine in conjunction with award winning architects and urban designers Studio Egret West have completed a feasibility and masterplan for Jubilee Park in Woodhall Spa.
In July 2006 Erskine Corporation and Studio Egret West, were asked by East Lindsey District Council, to undertake an options appraisal and feasibility study for Jubilee Park.
The summary description of the project was: “Jubilee Park 2067 is an exciting project to find a secure future for Jubilee Park. It should be as visionary as that of Lady Weigall, who gave the park to the people of Woodhall Spa in 1947. Since then the park has been loved and appreciated by the community and visitors alike. To make Jubilee Park 2067 happen a team of consultants will work with the interested parties to look at the options for its future, from its physical appearance to how it will work financially. These options will be put to East Lindsey District Council so they can decide how best to help the park to flourish for the next 60 years.”
The park contains one of the few open air swimming pools (or lido’s) in the country. The team created three options with the ‘big idea’ setting out a new ‘vision’ for the park with a wide ranging long term improvement plan for the site. The team looked at:
- developing a highly creative architectural, spatial design and landscape concept
- increasing income generation from increased usage by locals and tourists alike
- linking elements of the scheme with county wide initiatives such as using the café to provide meals for the adjacent schools
- enhancing the facilities to allow county, regional, national and international level sporting activities to be hosted
- marketing and communications issues relating to the park
- integrating energy saving technologies into the design
- alternative management options for the park such as developing all or part of Jubilee Park in conjunction with the private sector or a specially established Trust or social enterprise.
The Leader and the Chief Executive of East Lindsey District Council received a hearty applause when the final plan was presented to the community. Now that’s not a bad result is it!!
