Eastville Park Lido: ‘Catastrophic eyesore’ or much-needed community facility?

By Betty Woolerton  Thursday Jul 6, 2023

Fresh plans have been submitted for an open air swimming pool and cafe in Eastville Park.

Campaigners say more swimming facilities are needed in Bristol and the pool would offer an inclusive space for the local community to enjoy.

However, some have raised concerns over potential extra traffic, parking, and environmental impact.
