There is also a whimsical monument to Billy the Seal who lived from 1912 to 1939 in what is now the paddling pool. The park is one of the few remaining UK parks where the park keeper still lives in an on-site lodge. A splashpad has now replaced the paddling pool due to maintenance costs.
A whimsical statue commemorates Billy the Seal, who inhabited the area from 1912 to 1939 when it was known as a paddling pool. The park is one of the last UK sites where the park keeper still lives in an on-site cottage. Now, a splashpad has taken the place of the old paddling pool due to maintenance expenses.
