Salisbury River Park project: talk and tour

Overview

Salisbury River Park project is a transformative scheme designed to reduce flood risk while enhancing the city’s natural environment and public spaces for the community.

Backed by significant investment, the scheme combines flood alleviation measures with high-quality public realm improvements, introducing new green spaces, improved river channels, and enhanced pedestrian and cycling routes that create a more attractive and accessible riverside environment.

Sustainability and resilience sit at the heart of the project. The design works with natural processes to manage water more effectively while also supporting biodiversity and encouraging active travel through better connectivity across the city.

Delivering the scheme within a sensitive urban and environmental setting has required close collaboration between engineers, landscape architects, and key stakeholders. Balancing technical flood requirements with placemaking ambitions has been a central challenge throughout.

ICE Swindon City Club is hosting an outdoor site visit, exploring the key features of the project. Spaces are limited.
