Amusement Park[]
The park was once home to a popular amusement park, which was established in 1910. By the 1940s, the amusement park had become a popular destination for both locals and visitors to the area.[2] A wooden rollercoaster was in operation at the park for over 60 years. In 1971 the carousel was sold to Cedar Point, and the roller coaster was shut down due to safety concerns.[3] The amusement park closed its doors in 1974, and the land was acquired by Ingham County.
