How can I find out more about the Southern Gateway (Project 2)?
The first phase of an exciting landscaping, public realm and lighting scheme designed to complement the south promenade sea defences has been completed. This £4.4m project transformed an area of surface car parking and under utilised space into a key gateway reception point for visitors to the southern part of the resort.
Set between the important and prominent Pleasure Beach and Sandcastle attractions, the scheme provides a high quality environment as part of a phased quality approach to public realm improvement and the realisation of the Masterplan.
There is a hotel complex to the north of the existing theme park, lighting on the sea wall, and illuminated canopy spanning the road. This will complement the new attractions the Pleasure Beach will deliver on the existing theme park site as part of its development strategy.
