Victoria Park Portsmouth
The masterplan

Community Hub

Community

The ‘Green House’

A new community building in the centre of the park will provide:

  • Two new accessible public toilets
  • A large open space for the community to use for school groups, meetings, workshops and events
  • A volunteer office
  • A kitchenette for community and volunteer use
  • An external covered area with hard paving for year-round shelter.

Location

The community building will be located next to the main avenue between the fountain and aviary. We are using land previously housing the old greenhouses and council depot, therefore no park land will be lost as a result.

 

Materials and environmental benefits

  • The outside will be clad with a blend of natural clay tiles, bricks and large glazed panels
  • The roof will have a living green roof and also house solar panels
  • The building will be heated through an air source heat pump

 

Works timetable

Work will begin in January 2023 and take approximately nine months to complete.
