WAS a small but fun children's amusement park located in Melrose Park
Illinois. It hd been in operation for over 80 years and was a place for MANY
generations enjoyed. Sadly, on Sept 27th 2009 the gates were closed
forever. With the exception for Oct 4th when each ride will be run 1 time to
let those who won the auctions for the FINAL RIDES. All money raised will be
donated to charity.
Below are the photos and videos from the last two sundays the park was
open to the general public.
On the 27th, My son Austin and I spent the entire day there. Rode lots of
rides, took a ton of photos and were the last riders on the Mushroom ride.
We also were the LAST people that day to take pics on the Little Dipper
Roller Coaster as well as the LAST two people out of the gate. Except for
Owners and Security. We got out park map signed by the owners, took a photo
with them and said goodbye to the park for the last time. Appropriately,
while waiting to exit the park it started raining HARD. Lightnig and
thunder. Everyone gathered in the building that held the kiddie car ride.
It was a great day, a fun day but yet a very sad day :(
