The Pyramids of Portsmouth: Remembering the lost water park
The Pyramids water park was once a fixture of Southsea seafront
Recognise this iconic South Coast landmark? 🤔 It’s not the Pyramids of Giza… it’s the Pyramids of Pompey!
Built in 1988 for a staggering £8.5 million, this massive glass giant was once home to a legendary indoor waterpark, complete with chaotic wave pools and tropical flumes. 🌊🌴 But running a tropical climate on the British coast turned into a financial nightmare, pushing the building to the brink of permanent demolition!
Today, the pools are gone, replaced by a massive indoor bounce park an gym.
