History
In 1881, the Ramsey Town Commissioners bought a 200 acre tidal swamp. The land was purchased for £1,200 with the intent to build the site into a pleasure park. Six years later the site was opened to the public and included many of the sites it does today. The park and lake proved to be a great success for Ramsey, bringing visitors and tourist alike. Events were held there as they are now and Mooragh Park remains a popular gathering place for the Island.
