Did you have a go on the rocking horse, the slide or the American swings?
Did you look for fish among the lilies in the Peter Pond? We have reminders of all this and more in our selection of nine nostalgic photos.
Our thanks go to the excellent Hartlepool Museum Service and Hartlepool Library Service for another great selection of archive scenes.
Take a look through and see if these pictures bring back fond memories.
