Moor Park Health and Leisure Centre

for NHS Blackpool and Blackpool Council

Bristol Avenue

FY2 0JG

LSP Developments were appointed in 2007 alongside its funding partner, Assura to procure the North Shore Primary Care Centre following a "3PD" tender process. Work began in earnest in assessing suitable sites which resulted in a much wider vision involving Blackpool Council and the procurement of a new Leisure Centre, alongside an existing swimming pool and a new Library.

The Leisure Centre comprises high quality gym and fitness facilities, a Sports Hall and a new Library totalling 2242 sqm connected to the swimming pool.

The Primary Care Centre provides accommodation for 3 GP practices, a range of community outpatient services, community nursing, dentistry, pharmacy and a cafe which sits within the shared 2 storey atrium linking the health with the Library and the leisure facilities. The surrounding 3.5ha park land has also been transformed with major improvements made to walkways and landscaping, together with new play areas and a multi-use games area. The design has sustainability at its core, meeting a 15% renewable energy target. There is a gas powered combined heat and power plant and the site is designed around a sustainable drainage system (SUDS).

The different requirements, expectations and aspirations between the Council, PCT, GPs and other building users was only achieved by a strong partnership built up at the early stage of the project. The project was handed over in June 2011.
