A community lido has undergone an £8 million make over.

Park Road Lido, a swimming spot since 1926, now has new changing areas, bathroom facilities, a new reception area and cafe.

The 50m long pool has also been renovated and new sunloungers, landscaping and water features.

The redevelopment has been refurbished by Haringey Borough Council and leisure facility provider Fusion Lifestyle.

Fusion Lifestyle divisional business manager Mark Munday said: “We’re thrilled with Park Road Lido’s transformation over the past year, and delighted to announce that the pool is once again open for the summer season.

“Our renovation, the first in the lido’s history, has truly transformed this fantastic local asset into one that can be enjoyed by all the community and for many summer seasons to come.”

The lido is expected to be extremely busy during the school holidays and on weekends in particular, so visitors are being advised to pre book online to avoid queues.
