Jubilee Park Swimming Pool, Woodhall Spa, Lincolnshire, England is an open air heated lido.
History
The park was created by Sir Archibald and Lady Weigall to commemorate the jubilee of King George V in 1935.[1][2] It was given to the National Fitness Association in 1938.[3]
In 2008, the Friends of Jubilee Park secured a grant of £1.5 million to refurbish the Park including re-lining of the pool.[4]
Description
The pool measures 33.3 m x 12.5 m.[1]
The heated outdoor swimming pool is open during the summer months. Other amenities within the park include a camping and caravanning site, children's playground, picnic area, bowling green, croquet lawn, cricket field, putting course, tennis courts, a cafe and cycle hire. In December 2010, East Lindsey Council sold Jubilee Park, and the lido, to the Woodhall Spa residents for one pound.[5]
