The Sea Lions
first arrived at the park in the late 60s taking up residence in a
custom made pool nearby the main lake. Their playful antics made
them an ever popular attractions with guests, especially at feeding
time.
When their pool
was first built it was out on its own near the original grass car
parks but over the years the area around the pool gradually became
more built up and it ended up as part of Towers Street.
The Sea Lions'
last season in the park was 1990 and after their departure their
pool was converted into a games arena for model boats. The pool was
eventually filled in for the 1994 season, though even today when the
weather is very dry its outline can be seen on the lawns at the foot
of Towers Street.
