History
Mooragh Park was not always a park for it was built, but then its lake was
not always a lake. In 1881, the Ramsey Town Commissioners
bought a 200 acre tidal swamp. The Land was purchased for 1,200 pounds
with the intent to build the site into a pleasure park. Six years later
the site was opened to the public and included many of the sites it does
today. The park and lake proved to be a great success for Ramsey, bringing
visitors and tourists alike. Events were held there as they still are now and
Mooragh remains a popular public gathering place for the island.

Visiting Mooragh Park
Near the town of Ramsey and not far from the coast lies a beautiful lake
set in green surroundings. Children play on swings, slides and other outside
playground equipment as parents watch from nearby benches. Not far away
small children splash around in a shallow pool while others eat ice cream
cones bought from the cafe nearby.
If the scene was not complete then the views overlooking the large man made
lake would make things so. Sail boats, canoes and paddlers make their way
around the calm waters. While people walk along the path which wraps
around the lake. Bowlers try out the lush green and nearby a family enjoys
the Crazy (Miniature) Golf.
