The lido will be 25 meters by 37 meters, large enough to host events such as competitive swimming and kayak polo competitions.

There will be a water playground for children with fountains, lawns for sunbathing and also lawns for picnics.

Also on-site will be a massive gym and fitness center which will include two indoor pools.

The Lido on Albert Avenue was a popular spot but closed more than 30 years ago – the new Lido is slated to open by summer 2023.

Councilor Daren Hale, leader of Hull City Council, said live in yorkshire: “People in West Hull will have a fantastic international standard facility on their doorstep once the project is complete, it will be a short walk or bus ride for so many families.

“I am really looking forward to the lido being completed in the summer of 2023 and I am sure it will be an attraction for the whole of Hull.”

There are a number of fantastic outdoor pools in the UK that are well worth a visit during the current spring heatwave.

One of the best can be found in Cornwall, which opened the first geothermally heated lido in the UK – similar to Iceland’s Blue Lagoon.

With temperatures hovering around 35°C, the natural brine pool is heated all year round, making it perfect when the temperature drops.

The art deco Lido Jubilee Pool in Penzance has stunning views of St Michael’s Mount across the water and is the largest in the UK with seating for up to 50 people.
