Scarborough's Peasholm Park is to get a £3m facelift.
Used by thousands of holidaymakers every year the park, created 70 years ago, is renowned for its naval battle, Japanese gardens, boating and island bandstand.
The scheme will include re-building the imposing pagoda on top of the park's island, which was destroyed by fire some two years ago.
There will be a new restaurant, educational centre, and aviary, while extensive landscaping and tree planting will also be carried out, said Coun Eileen Bosomworth the borough council leader.
Beneath Peasholm Lake lies the former Manor of Northstead, an office of the Crown which MPs can take if they wish to resign their seat in Parliament.
