The Peasholm Park Friends are a voluntary organisation dedicated to the refurbishment and further enhancement of Peasholm Park, which is in Scarborough, North Yorkshire, UK.

Peasholm Park has suffered from a severe lack of funding and from a lack of care for a good many years, and as we consider it to be one of Scarborough’s main tourist attractions, we are determined to find ways of restoring it to its former glory – and even enhancing it, to bring it magnificently into the twenty-first century.

Peasholm Park is a key element of the North Bay experience and has been cherished by visitors since its inception in the early 1900s. Restoring it to its rightful position as "Jewel" in Scarborough’s tourist crown will surely be of benefit to the whole town.

We hope that our activities, which include developing a whole new infrastructure for the Park, will help to provide for the needs of today’s users and permit an enhanced programme of events and activities to take place within the Park.

Peasholm is a beautiful park; it has a tranquil lake on which people can hire boats of all sorts to enjoy the water at close quarters. Boats include traditional rowing boats and canoes of course, but pedalos with dragon heads are available too, and these prove to be extremely popular with summer visitors and locals alike. There are two cafes where hot and cold drinks can be purchased, and of course, ice cream, plus sandwiches and full meals if wanted.

Is there any place nicer than to sit on the terrace overlooking the beautiful lake on a hot August afternoon while listening to music from the bandstand on the lake? We don’t think so! And so we invite you to come and see for yourself… You will be most welcome!
