  One of my fondest memories of this park is when my mother brought me and my brothers here to play in the old playground which was located in the south-east behind the bandstand. There was a concrete rolling hill section where there was a slide at the peak of a hill and monkey bars which spanned a small concrete valley; I remember being terrified and amazed of this play area which was cruelly shifted to the inferior whale paddling pool section in later years. There was also a greenhouse-type aviary, however, my best memory was of my mother taking us to the travelling amusement fair which was kept annually (then) in Pingles Park and walking through the tunnel underneath the railway line separating the two parks. Thanks to our Mum, my brothers and I enjoyed toffee apples, train rides and the thrill of listening to our echoes in the dark tunnel.
