About Old Deer Park, Richmond

Tucked into Old Deer Park in Richmond, this Grade II listed swimming pool and leisure complex occupies a 6.5-acre site. Built between 1964 and 1966 to designs by Leslie Gooday, it took over from the older Richmond baths on Parkshot, which dated from 1882. For visitors, it is a reminder of how the borough's public bathing moved from an 1882 building to a purpose-built modern home.
