Someone has started a web site to document the old amusement parks that were in the Niagara Region.
Niagaras Lost Amusement Parks is dedicated to preserving the memories of the various Amusement Parks which have dissappeared from the landscape of the Niagara Region of Ontario, and Niagara Falls, NY. This site covers over 100 years of Amusement Park history, and is a work in progress. As more information or photos beomce available, the site will be updated. Please note that this site only covers the Amusement Parks & Water Parks of the area, and not the tourist places like Clifton Hill and the wax museums.
There are currently sections on:
- Maple Leaf Village Park
- Tower View Amusement Park
- Whitewater Park
- Wet And Wild – Prudhomme’s Landing
- Pyramid Place
They hope to add sections on:
- Frontier Amusement Park
- Skylon Amusement Park
- Miniature World
- Lakeside Park
- Crystal Beach Amusement Park
- Grimsby Beach
- Erie Beach
- Falls Street Fair
- Niagara Splash Waterpark
I’m sure if you have any pictures or information, the person who runs the site would be happy to hear from you. There are a couple of email address on the web site.
