19 memories of good times in Doncaster's Sandall Park going back to the late 90s

Before 1841 the land was the site of a brick works and the lake is a result of the extraction of clay from the area. It was 1940 before it was officially opened as a park and until the 1970s there was a children’s train which ran through the park.
