I also went swimming in the ducks pond, played for the res and played bowls and
tennis - and we use to go up on the swing and slide and put candle gresse on it
to make it go faster. On the way home, we used to have a glass of milk in Seales
Dairy on the bottom of the hill.
We paid a penny to enter the baths for a 1 hour session. On hot summer days we had to queue to get in. When our hour was up we would go out and pay to go back in. I think they changed the water weekly!!!! I spent hundreds of hours in Garth Park.
During the 1960's as a youth, I walked my two Great Dane dogs at Garth Park, Trealaw almost every day. The park-keeper in the 60's was called "Jock" a Scotsman with a very broad accent. I also played football every Saturday morning at Garth Park for Maes Yr Haf boys club. The swimming pool in the picture was to the best of my recollection mostly closed for some reason or another and always in a bad state of repair. Robert O'Flaherty
