Onchan Park

Open 11.00am to 6.30pm Seven Days a Week!

A sudden snow fall during the early hours of Friday 3rd March 2006 saw Onchan Park covered in a blanket of snow.

Parks man Orry Lewin captured the scene with his camera and we show a selection here.

Not a footprint in sight at the entrance to Onchan Park and the blue skies and the palm trees do nothing to portray the true temperature

The boating lake looked different from its summertime appearance and so too with the lack of sound of the putt, putt of the motorboats - just silence without even birdsong.

No snow plough on the steam train as it stands in the Onchan Station.

Two forlorn horses without a blade of grass in sight.

During the Friday morning there were several flurries of snow and here our cameraman Orry has captured one such short snow shower.
