St.James' Park
From July 2010 through to July 2011, St.James' Park underwent extensive restoration and improvement works, as part of a Parks for People project funded jointly by the Heritage Lottery Fund and Southampton City Council.
One of the major improvements was the refurbishment and extension of the World War II Air Raid Precautions Building into a fully-functional café with community room and toilet facilities.
ParkLife was founded by FoSJP in November 2010, in order to operate the building and its facilities, under a long-term lease from the building's owner, Southampton City Council.
St.James' Park was re‑opened on 6th July 2011, and the ParkLife Café opened on 15th July 2011.
