A consultation on the future of a popular Wiltshire park that attracts hundreds of thousands of people a year has been launched.

Warminster Town Council is seeking feedback from residents and visitors on potential improvements to the Lake Pleasure Grounds, which receives more than 300,000 visits each year.

People can submit their views about the installation of a pump track for bike riding, better toilet provision, renovation of the boathouse and a revamped front entrance.

Opinions on creating a zig-zag path from The Ridgeway to replace the current steep slope and steps down to the park are also wanted.



Mayor of Warminster Cllr Jack Jones said: “This survey is a fantastic opportunity for residents and visitors to have their say on how the Lake Pleasure Grounds could be improved in the years ahead.

“Whether you use the park every day or only occasionally, every response will help shape future investment and ensure this much-loved space continues to thrive for generations to come.”

The consultation runs until Wednesday, September 9.

Paper copies of the survey can be requested from the Civic Centre in Sambourne Road.

Lake Pleasure Grounds celebrated its centenary in 2024 with a large pyrotechnic air show and music concert.
