Children find novel raft for lake
Mischievous youngsters found a new plaything in Lurgan Park in 1979 - the wooden fishing piers which jutted out into the lake.
They had discovered a way to detach the structures and row them out into the middle of the lake with up to half a dozen passengers on board.
Police had to called on one occasion when four boys turned one of the fishing piers into a makeshift raft.
