Castle Park Landmarks
Look out for the following:
Highfield Road Community Centre
The drainpipe is now steel plaited thanks to Sug's boot.
Highfield Road Playing Field
Don't be suprised to see Castle Park players practising their soccer skills on this extremely narrow field on Sunday afternoons.
The Old Tennis Courts, Highfield Road
Now just concrete.
The Park, Back of Derwent Road
Features the old football pitch which is now a total bog. It used to have a metal goal structure but it was deemed a death trap and removed.
Now used as a skatepark.
Bring back the Golden Days!
Help us bring back the golden days of the estate, like the 90s when the Park was a beautiful green field attracting hundreds of keen footballers to use the extensive facilities.The marble drains were revolutionary. The 5 a side goals which were stolen from the empty house on Highfield Road were there.
There was no grafiti on the concrete wall and there were swings and a roundabout for the kids(removed in the late eighties) but I still remember them!
Please write to the RAF, who own the Park and Tennis Courts(the estate is for Army families-with exceptions)and demand a makeover for the estate to bring back the crowds and the atmosphere of those endless summer nights. Yadayadayada.....
It will however seriously dent the profits of Tuby's Amusement Arcades, Pier Road, Whitby.
If you have any info on our beautiful? estate please....
