• The Grange Lido Project in South Lakes is a community-led initiative to restore and redevelop the Grange-over-Sands Lido, a historic outdoor swimming pool in Cumbria, England. The lido was built in 1932 and was a popular attraction for locals and tourists until it was closed in 1993 due to a decline in usage and maintenance issues.
  • The Grange Lido Project aims to restore the lido to its former glory, while also adding new facilities and amenities to make it a year-round destination. The project includes plans for a new cafĂ©, a community space, a water play area, and a wellness center, among other features. The restored lido will also include improved access for people with disabilities and a more sustainable heating and water system.
  • The project is being led by a team of volunteers and community members, who have formed a charity called the Grange-over-Sands Lido Ltd. The charity has received support from local businesses, residents, and government bodies, and has also launched a crowdfunding campaign to help fund the project.
  • The Grange Lido Project is seen as a model for community-led regeneration and has garnered attention from other towns and cities in the UK looking to revitalize their own public spaces. Restoration work commences in March 2023
