Viewed from the foot of Castle Hill and looking towards the new West Quay development with the ferry, Seven Sisters, visible to the right. A cricket ground existed here from the 1890s with a pond at the northern end where the bowls green is now located which seems to have been drained around the First World War though the park has been prone to the odd flooding ever since.
