I remember family holidays with my Mum and Dad in the 1960s. We used to stay at the Norbreck Hotel, and we were very lucky as Dad had a car.We all went together when my sons were small. Mum and Dad are gone now- but I still have the photographs in a box. Love it x |

We love peasholm park in fact we have had a commemorative bench put in my late grandparents name and we are coming to see it on the 3rd July 2010 for the 1st time. A wonderful place to sit, relax and reflect. |

Peasholm Park is a truly beautiful place to walk and sit and especially when the weather is sunny, an ice cream is a must. |

Scarborough and Peasholm Park - a magical place in the 50s, when I lived there. My father, Ernie Good, was hugely involved in the Naval Battle from its beginning. He was responsible for introducing the aeroplanes and used to do the commentary from the bandstand. His employees from 'Goods of Scarborough' were the men driving the boats. I remember sitting on the island behind the scenery during the bombardment of the 'town' when I was a little girl, and being terrified! Dad is now 94 and lives in Norfolk - his house, of course, is called, 'Peasholm' |

I have beautiful & magical memories of Scarborough & the park. We used to holiday in Scarborough every year throughout the seventies (I'm now 45) & every time it made my heart gallop. I think the wishing well is now filled in & planted with flowers. What a shame! Throwing my penny in while making a wish was one of the highlights of the holiday. Buying a clockwork boat at one of the gift shops was always special & I couldn't wait to get into the park to launch it on one of the tranquil boating ponds. Wonderful times! |

I'm so glad I'm not the only one with such fond memories of Scarborough and Peasholm Park. Mum always made me wait till the last night of our holiday to go round the Tree Walk Wonderland! I also loved the little canaries and finches in the cages, going round the lake in a canoe with my dad, but my happiest memories are of sailing my little yacht on the boating pools in Peasholm Glen. How I loved that boat.
Thank you for this lovely site, enabling me to indulge my own nostalgia. |

Dad was a farmer,we'd spend a few days holiday in Scarb at the beginning of September each year.The first night would be spent on the tree walk .Dad would jump out from behind the same tree and scare us kids every year. He'd always test the depth of the lake and lift up an oar of mud and duck poo. My Mum,standing on the 'shore' worried we would all fall in the lake. It was wonderful.Magical. We went there every day.So glad its still going strong. |
