Not been for too many years but getting back remember why I love it. The walk around the lake is lovely watching the birds and plenty of seating so you can watch the world go by. Wonderful little piece of tranquility in a crazy world.

The park has multiple entrances, includes a lake (with island), pedalos (dragon boats), cafe, mini golf etc. We visited straight after having some train rides just over the road. There was a bit of a wait for the dragon boats, but it is the school summer holidays...! We comfortably fitted the whole family in... although I regretted being volunteered by the kids to do the peddling!

Stunning park close to North Bay beach. The park has something for everyone. The main attraction would be the pedal boats. There is an elevated island in the middle with an oriental building to the top. There is ample seating and toilet facilities. You can also observe wildlife here. Very well designed gardens. Great place for family picnics.

Gorgeous park with a cafe serving tasty food and drinks including vegan ice-cream. Lots of birds, squirrels and a lake and streams/small waterfalls. We come here every time we holiday in the Scarborough area. There are disabled toilets and my husband can navigate about 95% of the park using his electric wheelchair. There were cute goslings there this time round and there are plenty of ducks, gulls and geese with a few swans also gracing visitors with their regal presence. Definitely worth a visit, with boat rides and picturesque walks etc to keep you active Lots of benches and there are a few covered areas if it starts to rain.
