What lovely clips . This park played a huge part of my childhood and filled it with wonderful memories . Thanks for sharing .

bobbysimmo Same here! I lived in Battersea up to late 1976 and loved this place. Early style theme park-ish look for the period. Never rode the ill-fated Big Dipper which I’m sure my late Mum used to say was unsafe. Interesting to note operators standing up on the Flying Saucer back then. Was a magical place back then.

The first two fair ground attractions I ever went on was at Battersea park , the Helter Skelter , on the Coconut (ouch yer bum) mats with my Dad , then onto the Dive Bomber with him . About half hour later , the roller Coaster slipped off the rail and stopped at the top of the ride with my cousin on it and the workers had to go up and walk her and everyone down , while my Aunt had a melt down 😅

I remember the Battersea Pk. funfair as a kid in the early 60s.I returned about 1980 and was surprised the funfair had gone....Somebody walking by told me it had closed in 1974, I believe.Such a shame and such a big loss.

@karendelaurey3319 5 лет назад

TheUncleBilly because of fatalities

@gaynor1721 4 года назад

Because of a decline after the 1972 accident on the Big Dipper causing 5 deaths.

The Big Dipper rollercoaster rolled back and crashed, killing 5 children.

@DorisDay-lw4xs 13 дней назад

Anyone remember the Dalek they had there ? You could sit inside it and record some nonsense which was pressed onto a 7” record. It popped out of the Dalek when it was finished. Sounded dreadful but I wish I still had the one I made.

@toypupanbai5960 8 лет назад

I thought that the Tree Walk was a great idea. I suppose that H&E would insist it was in a rubber lined concrete tunnel, if it was re installed? There is something about the Pagoda that jars!

@TheUncleBilly 7 лет назад

I loved the tree walk as a young kid in the early 60s. My Dad didn't like the heights, but my Mum took me along the tree walk.

@Ricksta66 4 года назад

I bet quite a few of them rides ended up in Dreamland Margate, or even at Southend Kursaal. I know the old Crazy Cottage is down at the the Dymchurch family amusement park.

@martinporter4980 6 лет назад

rar321blue I loved the eerie musical intro shot via the park turnstile entrance past the Dive Bomber. (This was my local playground in the late 60s/early 70s). Used to be advertised on the buses each Spring with “Playground of the South” posters.
