Lost Shore

This investment supports the Bank’s place mission, using investment to enable regeneration that will improve the environment for local communities and create new job opportunities. 

The park provides free access to the natural environment with health and mental wellbeing benefits available to all.

The surfing facility will provide year-round surfing, including training for beginners, and a commitment to work with local communities and charities to enhance access to selected groups, supporting the mental health and well-being benefits of surfing.

The park will increase natural capital locally and will provide significant new access to public access greenspace for local communities and others.

With an expected opening of Summer 2024, Lost Shore Surf Resort (formerly known as Wavegarden Scotland), will provide inland surfing all year round to enable safe, predictable conditions to learn and develop skills in the rapidly emerging sport.

When complete, the complex will also include holiday lodges and a central hub building with a food court. 

Lost Shore's design philosophy has been centred around the restoration and promotion of biodiversity in an area that suffers from industrial decay.

Mental health and wellbeing have also been a central part of the ambition, supported through publicly accessible green-space and increased opportunities to participate in an outdoor sport with proven health benefits.

With an inclusive approach, Lost Shore is committed to work with local communities and charities to provide access to the surfing facility.
