The Canoe lake dates back to 1886 when it was opened by Mayor A.S. Blake and is home to some mature evergreen oak trees planted in 1910. The Canoe Lake is sometimes known as a swan's nursery because it is one of the Mute Swans chosen sites in the Solent. There can by up to 60 juvenile swans in the area at any one time LinkExternal link maybe explaining why the peddle boats are designed in such fashion
