The aviary and adjacent dovecote were a popular attraction at this park for many years. The aviary had a variety of birds such as budgies, cockatiels and finches. Animals were also kept in the past - older residents recall coming to see the monkeys here. For information on the history of Hammond's Pond (originally called Pleasureland) see archived version of Carlisle City Council website https://web.archive.org/web/20130515110036/http://www.carlisle.gov.uk/leisure_and_culture/parks_and_open_spaces/park_locations/hammonds_pond/hammonds_pond_history.aspx . The dovecote was demolished in late 2017 - see Image .
