Dist:0.3km<br/>A 910 metre long lake on the north side of the park, which is used for boating. Rowing boats were introduced first and then on April 1, 1953 motor boats and a Mississippi style paddle steamer called "Phoenix II" made their debut. The paddle steamer continued to operate on the lake until 1967. The piers are where, during the summer months, the rowing boats are located

Dist:0.3km<br/>View westward, towards London, from the same bridge as [[2201827]] but 12½ years earlier, soon after Nationalisation and before the major changes in layout. Still un-renumbered Stanier 3-cylinder 4P 2-6-4T No. 2511 is on ancient stock approaching old Midland signals. (The 3-cylinder 2-6-4Ts were the principal motive-power on the Tilbury Line trains in those days). The Tottenham & Forest Gate lines to/from Kentish Town are on the far side, beyond the LPTB District/Metropolitan tracks.
