| Children's Play Area |
| |
 The
current childrens play area was installed only 10 years ago, but
it could do with an upgrade. This pirate ship is in the play area
at Sutton on Sea. It was installed by ELDC. Take a look at these
websites of companies manufacturing and installing equipment for
'young people'

| Provision
for young people (12-16 year olds) |
| |
 Provision
for young people can take many forms, but some of the ideas under
discussion for Jubilee Park are a youth shelter, multi-use games
area and a climbing wall. Facilities for young people, such as these,
are often referred to as 'teenage villages'. To gain a clearer understanding
of what a Teenage Village, Youth Shelter and Multi Use Games Area
are please visit the linked websites listed below, and mostly importantly
read the two articles. The first article is by Thames Valley Police
and the second by Rekk, a company that manufactures and installs
youth shelters (note: these are PDF files):

| Fitness Trail |
| |
 This
fitness trail includes equipment similiar (but more robust) to what
you would find in a fitness suite. It is alongside the multi-use
sport area and play park at Sutton on Sea. Perhaps the Pinewoods
could be part of the trail.
This is one of the companies manufacturing fitness trail equipment:

Cycling |

 Jubilee
Park has 'toyed' with cycle hire for many years, however, the Water
Rail Way is due completion in 2007. This will create a safe off road
route along the river bank from Lincoln to Kirkstead Bridge.. There
is also an aspiration to upgrade the Spa Trail from Horncastle to
Woodhall Spa. Both routes could be linked with Jubilee Park to make
the ideal start and finish point for a cycle ride (Parking, refreshments,
swimming).

 The Fairy
Dell Paddling Pool, Skegness.
The Fairy Dell, built by Skegness
Urban District Council in 1929, reopened in 2006 after a
refurbishment programme. ELDC tried to close it, but eventually had
to bow to public pressure for it to remain open. Meanwhile the Sunshine
padding pool north of the pier has been filled in - to make a flower
bed. Note the new sand coloured 'soft' pool surrounds and the water
features. |

| Swimming
Pool |
| |
On Tuesday, 29th August
2006, nine members of the 'Friends' group travelled to Hampstead
Heath, London to visit Parliament Hill Lido. The pool is approximately
70 x 28 metres and unheated. In 2004/5 £2.9m was invested in
a refurbishment including relining the pool bottom with stainless
steel (the first Lido in the UK to receive such treatment). This
not only eliminates leaking and repairs but brings the water up to
deck level, which is aesthetically pleasing and effective in skimming
off scum from sun lotion.
A stainless steel liner could be the long term
solution for Jubilee Park swimming pool
