After the outdoor (swimming) pool - as it became known by the end of the 20th century - closed in 1993 it had a short period as a leisure facility (featuring crazy golf and children's play areas) until 2008.

​

It now stands derelict in Wharfemeadows Park - a popular and otherwise attractive riverside park featuring a children's play area, boats, skateboard park, tennis courts and scenic walks.

​

The site is relatively compact with a culvert running beneath it. The existing buildings are in a state of disrepair but may have the potential to be renovated and incorporated in our plans (subject to structural surveys and functional and financial sustainability considerations).

​

The venue has the potential to boast amazing views across Lower Wharfedale. Its location on the banks of the River Wharfe with a southern aspect facing The Chevin and western aspect providing unobstructed views to the west.
