Its spectacular views across Morecambe Bay to the Lake District fells make it a stunning location for a pleasant walk, as well as the untold numbers of events that have taken place there over the years and continue to do so.
The park is now home to the hugely popular Highest Point music festival as well as the Dukes theatre promenade productions, but we’ve taken a step back in time to events of yesteryear.
Our 59 pictures trace events photographed by our Lancaster Guardian snappers from 1996 to 2010.
