Warminster Town Council has welcomed feedback from residents and visitors on the future of the Lake Pleasure Grounds (Weymouth Street, Warminster, BA12 9NP).
An informal two-week consultation received 588 responses and was able to assess whether the council’s priorities reflected visitors’ current and future views for the park.
The public’s top priorities included better toilet facilities, renovating the Boathouse, and providing more accessible play equipment for children with SEN and disabilities.

A Warminster Town Council spokesperson said: “The consultation findings align with the council’s plans to improve toilet facilities and renovate the Boathouse. Options receiving less support, such as revamping the front entrance and improving signage, remain lower-priority, longer-term proposals.
“The feedback has also highlighted useful new concerns. Some are complex and will require careful consideration and further consultation if those projects progress.”
The Lake Pleasure Grounds is a much-loved community asset in the heart of the town, attracting around 250,000 visits each year. Its facilities include a popular splash pad, play park, tennis courts and skate park.
Warminster Town Council remains committed to investing in the park and thanks everyone who took part. The findings will help shape future projects.
