Willow Grove Park was an amusement park located in Willow Grove, Pennsylvania [a part of Abington Township], USA, that operated for eighty years from 1896 until the 1975 season.
My brother worked there when it was Six Gun Territory, back in the early '70s. We moved south in '74. I was sad to hear they tore it down and built a mall in its place.
philadelphia's FAIRYLAND ? FROM WILLOW TO PINE, SPRUCE ,CHERRY WALNUT, CHESTNUT ,LOCUST, lombard ..I guess the nuts or fruits don't fall far from the trees !
Grew up 1/4 mile from here. I can say I did attend the park..but I was only one in 1973 (can't recall it) Just remember it as closed fenced off area, lot of trees in the late 70s. I went to the bowling alley with my mom and dad every Sat. - before the mall and recall vividly one of the gazebos, old stone bridge next to the restaurant. Little did I know back then what an amazing place this was. Such a simple and an amazing time back then. It's hard to imagine this existed. Thanks for the upload!
