ICE-SKATING and boating on the pond, fishing in the lake, birthday party picnics, splashing in the pool and playing tennis - these just some of the warm and wonderful memories of Rowntree Park. Readers have been reminiscing following an article in The Press about how the park will be celebrating its centenary this year. This prompted readers to share memories of why the park is special to them in our Facebook nostalgia group Why We Love York - Memories. John Grant said: My memory is of the couple who were the keepers in the 1940s who initially lodged with my gran in Victor Street until they moved into the Lodge above the cafe: Jim and Joan Hubert. They became family friends, Joan sadly passing away last year age 95.
