Once Britain’s most popular resort, Blackpool is again on the map, benefitting from our plans to transform its image and re-invigorate its economy. LDA Design won the international competition to give shape to over £60m of investment in new public realm and related sea defence infrastructure.
Our vision was to create ‘the People’s Playground’ and, inspired by the notion of escapism, has delivered an otherworldly dunescape complete with a night-time virtual landscape and spectacular aerial light-show.
The scheme links six newly created headlands and includes an event space for 25,000 people, a wedding venue, one of Europe’s largest skate-parks, playzones, a 25-person seesaw, and 35m-high swaying “dunegrass” blades.
