Mooragh Park – food, drink and plenty of fresh air for all the family

The pizzeria is locally owned by TT racer and Ramsey local Conor Cummins. Conor originally started business as a barista and branched out by opening the pizzeria in Mooragh Park’s Boathouse and is open Monday – Sunday 4 till 9.

As well as having a range of activities and areas to relax, Mooragh Park Promenade is a registered Dark Skies Site, one of twenty-six British Isles Dark sky discovery sites. If you’re looking to stretch your legs a little further, it’s only a short walk back to Ramsey town centre.
