I remember 50+ years ago there were a lot of Rhodedendrons & other flowering shrubs, flower beds & shelters in this park. There were several tennis courts & putting greens. There were also a couple of blocks of public toilets. Much earlier there was a bandstand in Edwardian days. In more recent years the area has been returned to a more natural state with the removal or decay of these features, so that it can hardly be designated as a Park anymore. My friends & I spent our childhoods playing here on the 'Noggy' as we called it, meaning the North side or North Bay. This & the Castle, & everywhere up to Scalby Beck was our playground, & it often included Peaseholm Park & Scarborough Harbour. Dan Ferguson, now in Selby.
I'm still relatively new to the area so do wonder if more plants will grow over summer. I will revisit at some point and continue further to Marine Drive. Similarly I need to revisit the gardens along Esplanade. They certainly weren't at their best when I last went by in winter.
