ENDS MONDAY 27TH JULY 2026
The public consultation period for the development of the old boating lake has now ended!
We would like to thank everyone that has engaged and written in, we will now correlate the responses into a format where we can begin analysing the data. Your feedback and ideas will form the basis of the final design which will be submitted for planning permission!
We estimate this next phase of work to take us into early September and the preparation of the planning application following on shortly after.
We will ensure our socials and website up to date so keep an eye out for the progress!


Hawkins & Hawkins has been appointed to lead the architectural design for the proposed renovation of Hastings Old Town Boating Lake.
It is no secret that the boating lake in Hastings, Old Town needs rejuvenation and over the past tear detailed master plans have been carefully crafted, and now we have reached a crucial moment we want to hear from you, our local community!
Your thoughts and ideas are essential to shaping this development to benefit everyone.
Hastings old town is a charming, historic coastal town celebrated for its unique character and popular events such as the pram race and jack in the green. The proposed plan aims to build on this legacy with outdoor entertainment areas, interactive themed play spaces, splash zones and hospitality venues, all set within beautifully landscaped public seating.
We encourage you to explore the draft proposal and participate in our online public consultation to share your feedback, offer alternatives, and help us create a community space that truly reflects local aspirations.
Please send us your comments to the dedicated email and join us in shaping this exciting project.
We have published the online consultation on our social media platforms but note only feedback that is emailed in can be taken into consideration.
