Pools on the Park (previously known as Richmond Baths) is a Grade II listed swimming pool and leisure facility in Old Deer Park in Richmond, London. Construction on the site started in 1964 and was completed in 1966; the architect was Leslie Gooday. The pool replaced the previous Richmond baths nearby which had been built in Parkshot in 1882. Pools on the Park is recognised by Historic England as illustrating "the more ambitious use of glazed curtain walling and the post-Wolfenden Report emphasis on providing large banks of spectator seating". The building, which includes 33.3 metre pool and a learner pool inside, and an open-air pool outside, received a Civic Trust award in 1967.〔 The pool is built on land leased from the Crown Estate; the lease is due to expire on 4 April 2016.〔 The pool and leisure facility is operated on behalf of Richmond Council by contractor SpringHealth Leisure.〔 ==Transport== Pools on the Park has its own pay and display car park and is the terminus for London Buses route 490 from London Heathrow Terminal 5. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pools on the Park」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
