[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.[1]
[edit] Facilities
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.
