Plans to restore the historic Ynysangharad Lido at the Ynysangharad War Memorial Park, Pontypridd, Wales, have received a major boost in the form of a £2.3m grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF).
The grant will be used to restore and reopen the Grade II-listed lido and will also help visitors learn about its history.
The refurbishment works - designed by Capita Symonds - include a heated 25m main pool; an activity pool; splash pool, as well as a park café and a historic interpretation centre.
Jennifer Stewart, head of HLF Wales, said: "As one of Wales' largest and only remaining lido, it is a unique heritage asset in Wales which deserves to be saved.
"The project will create a fantastic visitor attraction and community hub with significant economic and social benefits for Pontypridd."
She added that the grant was awarded solely on the lido itself and will not be used for the separate, nearby paddling pool.
