The Tennis Courts
In 1960, the tennis courts were located adjacent to the roller skating rink and the Children's Building, towards the south west of the Camp. A few years later, they were moved to the 'spare' site which was bounded by the Gaiety Building and the Chalet Lines.

The Gaiety Building can be seen in the background.

I remember that there was a Peter Pan's railway here amongst the shrubbery. The traction current often seemed to vary as the trains (cars) started off slowly and took a while to get up to a reasonable speed. This was especially noticeable at both the start and end of the rides as the cars were stacked together, all on the same section of track.

The tops of the roundabouts in this park can be seen in the aerial photo of the 1960s.
