Because the parking areas adjacent to the boating lake lack a raised edge, now and again a car topples into the lake, either through driver error or when deliberately abandoned and dumped by a joy rider. Whether by chance or crime, it happens. In October 1991 a stolen Ford Cortina was abandoned with the front two thirds in the saltwater lake. A few years later a Ford Escort ended up with all four wheels on the bottom a few yards out from the side of the lake. In November 1994 a salon by the model-boat enclosure lived up to its name when a Volvo nosedived into the water after the elderly male driver got out. A female passenger emerged shaken and wet but unhurt. The fire brigade winched the car back onto dry land, and the couple drove away.
