Bristol’s People’s Pool Revival | Bristol News

After seven years of campaigning, a Bristol community group is on the verge of turning dreams into reality: a modern, heated outdoor pool in Eastville Park, built on the site of an old bowling green. Designed as a “people’s pool” to serve all communities—including those often excluded from swimming—they’re seeking council approval this September to take over the land and begin fundraising for a 30-meter pool, sauna, and café. While some locals fear traffic, environmental harm, and vandalism, the group counters with eco-friendly plans and survey results showing nearly 98% local support. If approved, this could become a vital, sustainable community hub—especially for families and kids without easy access to swimming—and revive a cherished public amenity for future generations.
