The Jubilee Pond, originally known as the Model Yacht Pond, has undergone significant changes over the years. Originally a popular model boating site, the pond deteriorated by the 1960s, becoming an eyesore. After several attempts to restore it, a local project in 2000 gathered over 750 signatures, leading to a renovation plan.
The pond was transformed into a wildlife and educational resource, with features like islands and viewing platforms. Renamed to Jubilee Pond in 2002 to mark Queen Elizabeth II’s Golden Jubilee, it was officially reopened in 2003. The pond is now supported by groundwater and has a clay lining to support plant life.
