Plans for a new leisure building at Kings Mill Reservoir have been revealed by a Nottinghamshire council. The proposals have been released by Ashfield District Council showing the "extremely exciting" plans, which are expected to be completed during the summer of 2024.
The building will provide changing and storage facilities for water sports on the ground floor, with a dedicated space for an 80-seat restaurant on the first floor, overlooking the reservoir. The plans will support activities including sailing, paddleboarding, kayaking, and open water swimming at the reservoir.
The new offering is designed to allow more residents and visitors to Kings Mill Reservoir the opportunity to access water sports. The new leisure facilities, which are being funded by the £62.6m Towns Fund, will complement the expansion of Nottinghamshire County Council’s Mill Adventure Base to include new outdoor activities by 2023.

Councillor Matthew Relf, executive lead member for regeneration and corporate transformation at the council, said: “The plans for Kings Mill Reservoir are extremely exciting. We can’t wait to be able to open up the offer of a variety of great new activities to visitors. The location of the new restaurant offering will be a fantastic addition to the reservoir, and will bring in even more visitors to Ashfield.
“Last week we started work on the dilapidated Yorkshire Bank in Sutton as part of the Future High Streets Fund, and now we are in a position to be able to start releasing plans for the other projects. It is a thrilling time to be an Ashfield resident."
