Today we have had a look back into the archive at some historic photos of visitors to the lake.
Maybe you have spent a sunny day on a Canoe Lake pedalo, or you might have fed the swans as a child.
To see more of our retro photos, and to share your own memories of Southsea, make sure you join our new Portsmouth Retro group on Facebook.
