Exciting transformations are coming to Swansea, set to reconnect the city with its stunning bay! The Civic Centre, in its prime seaside spot with priceless views of Swansea Bay, is gearing up for a complete makeover. Imagine cafes, bars, apartments, workspaces, and even an events space breathing new life into this area! 🌊
But that’s not all—two standout features are set to steal the show: Swansea’s first aquarium and a saltwater lido! If you’re curious about what a saltwater lido is, think outdoor swimming pleasure with refreshing, natural seawater, offering a unique touch rarely seen outside of places like Cornwall and Devon.
This “waterfront district” will seamlessly link the city centre and arena to the beach, finally overcoming that tricky dual carriageway barrier. Look forward to strolling down a broad path that stretches out to the sea on a new pier, bringing a whole new vibe to the area. 🏝️
Urban Splash, renowned for transforming urban spaces, is joining forces with the council to make this happen. They’re also behind Porth Copr, a sleek office and learning campus minutes from the beach. It’s described as a creative cluster of buildings overlooking peaceful green space and a historic church. 🏗️
Curious to know more and have your say? An exhibition on 28th and 29th January at the Y Storfa community services hub offers the perfect chance to dive into the plans, share thoughts, and shape Swansea’s future!
