Going there was one of our "days out" when we were young Shaz. No money for holidays and got to say we had some great days there. Mumused to do a picnic and if I remember rightly you could get a jug of tea at the cafe. We played for hours just using our imagination. Happy days:)
 
there's no cafe there anymore Bernie, and alas no boats on the lake which is such a shame :(
 
they should still do them, the park would make a lot of money if they still did that, they still do them at Thompson park in Burnley
 
yes thats the lake Bernie, i can't remember the cafe being there, think it was before my time, i've only lived in Blackburn for 13 years
 
Still a great place to take the kids, we used to get the bus to Intack and walk up. It is a fair old climb but as I said we had some lovely days up there:)
 
it is a fair walk from mine Bernie, as you know i live at Intack....but its well worth it, we walked up there today, the kids are knackered now :D
 
Good photos flashy, haven't been up Queens Park or years, but used to overlook it quite a lot whilest in the Hospital a few years back

The building was for the boats. I used to canoe on the lake as a kid on saturday or sunday mornings around 1981 ish.

The lake is only about 3 or 4 feet deep, I have been stood in it in winter several times :)
 
yes Neil, i know the boat house was for the boats and i know how deep it is, they drained it about 8 years ago and it was nothing but slimey sludge underneath...looks far better with water in it

Was the cafe not in that area?
 
I never know that park existed till it hit the news a few week ago, must have a look round it sometime
 
Lovely pics Flashy........I have not been in Queens Park for many many years.
I remeber we went on the boating lake......it was lovely, until my brother decided he didn't like it anymore......and stepped out of the boat. Lucky the water was only shallow.
