Peasholm Park Naval Warfare - Battle of Peasholm
Set on the Peashom Park lake in beautiful garden surroundings.
War breaks out on the lake in the middle of the park when the 20-foot replica boats recreate some serious tensions during the Peasholm Park Naval Battle. The “Battle of Peasholm” lasts for 30 minutes and is produced three times per week, starting in late June.
Peasholm Park is a fundamental element of Scarborough’s North Bay tourist experience. With its oriental theme, pagoda, lake and waterfalls, Peasholm is a beautiful park, treasured by many generations of visitors. There are many attractions such as boating, golf, naval warfare battles and musical shows.
