[edit] GreenPark Wind Turbine
The most visible feature of GreenPark is a wind turbine, adjacent to the M4 motorway, and billed as the UK's most visible turbine. The blades are 33 m (108 ft) long, with a tower height of 85 m (279 ft). At a wind speed of 14 m/s (31 mph) the machine generates 2.05 MW of electricity (less for lower wind speeds). It is owned and operated by Ecotricity and was completed in November 2005.

The facilities are located in Lime Square. It offers a day nursery for pre-school children, as well as a play area for children up 10 years. There is a fitness club with a swimming pool, a gymnasium, health and beauty studios and fitness classes, and a brasserie on the waterside.
