About

Portsmouth City Council is redeveloping Hilsea Lido as part of the Hilsea Lines project in the north of the city. The aim of this project is to improve the area and encourage residents and visitors to use it. The project has been enabled by funding from the UK government.

The council has been working closely with consultancy company Mace, and contractors Beard, to plan this complex project. Lots of work is needed to bring the lido back into public use. This stage has been completed, and work has now started on-site.

The project is due to be completed by summer 2025, ready for the lido’s 90th anniversary and will be open to the public for the summer season.
