1.6 Quarry Park. Quarry Park situated at the junction of Rowson Street, Mount Pleasant Road, Rake Lane and Magazine Lane New Brighton is, as the name suggests the site of an old quarry. The sandstone walls forming the boundary of the park were extracted from here. The most unique feature is the sandstone gateway, with a clock and steps leading down from each side. The name of the donor and Victorian philanthropist Mr. James Smith is inscribed on the side of the structure. The pendulum of the clock mechanism was situated inside one of the corners. (The clock mechanism has been in a local clock repairers possession for 13 years) There is a children’s play section and a kick about area. This original Victorian recreation area had 3 bowling greens, but now has one, which is still used for playing the traditional crown green bowls.
