Regent Park

This popular park was once Morecambe’s principal entertainment centre called the Summer Gardens. Built in the 19thC they included a circus, ballroom, aquarium, conservatory, café, racecourse and a boating pool. The racecourse was surrounded by a wide dyke which was used for skating in the winter.

Abandoned from the mid 1890s, the land was eventually bought by Morecambe Council in 1924. Over £25,000 was spent in creating the new park which opened in 1926. The park has recently had a face-lift and remains popular for its fine bowling greens.
