These pictures show what the park looked like when it was first built in the early 20th century compared to what it looks like today. Construction first began on the island and lake in December 1911 and was open to the public on June 19 1912. Phase two of the Park - incorporating the glen into the park, began in 1924. Over the past year Scarborough' s residents have appreciated the green space even more as somewhere to walk around during lockdown.

A view over the lake taken from a similar viewpoint today is very different as many mature trees have now established themselves in the park.
