The vision is to create a landmark destination on the Hartlepool Waterfront with a mix of civic, cultural, leisure and visitor attractions to complement the restaurants, cafes, bars and shops within the wider Hartlepool Marina area.
Hartlepool Borough Council are driving forward plans to regenerate the 4.7 acre vacant site at the Waterfront beginning with a £1.5 million investment in a linear park, a stretch of high quality public realm along the south side of the waterfront, connecting people to the historic Highlight monument.
The public realm works include a walkway, green spaces, boundary seating, coastal planting and new LED lighting, providing a statement of intent for the future transformation of the site.
