Please can I start by thanking the people at Hilsea Lido for allowing me to visit and take pictures.Home | Hilsea Lido Pool for the People
Hilsea Lido is a fresh water lido at Hilsea, Portsmouth. The lido is undergoing refurbishment and plans to re-open in 2011.
Hilsea Lido has been a popular swimming destination for Portsmouth people since the 1930s, but was closed by the Council in 2008.
In 2009 ownership passed to a registered charity, the Hilsea Lido Pool for the People (HLPP), who hope to re-open the pool in 2011.
The Hilsea Lido is a leisure facility featuring a Main Pool (measuring 67m x 18m - 4.6m deep) and a large Splash Pool (45m x 18m x 6ins deep) designed for younger swimmers. At 4.6 metres (15 feet) deep, the lido has the distinction of being the deepest outdoor pool in the UK apart from Broomhill Pool which is the same depth.
