Petition Restore & maintain the 128-year old Victoria Marine Lake (sea pool at West park)
Victoria Marine Lake is a site of significant historical and cultural importance. Dating from 1897, it is one of the largest pools in the UK and one of only two such pools in Jersey. The pool provides access to seawater swimming, especially during low tides when the sea can drop up to 1.5 km.
More details
Despite some investment in the past, the pool has seen minimal maintenance over its 128-year history. Since 2023, the sluice gates have remained open, effectively rendering the pool unusable. In response, the newly formed “Save Our Pool Working Group” - comprising local stakeholders - is advocating for its restoration.
Victoria Marine Lake predates the listed Havre des Pas pool by eight years, yet it remains unlisted and at risk. Restoring the pool would preserve a vital piece of Jersey’s heritage while promoting health, leisure, and tourism.
