Yes, I remember this too. My family is in the carnival business, so I visited it as something new in the carnival business. My youngest brother got the contract to remove the rides from the park after it closed.
I remember going here about 30 years ago, with a bunch of my cousins, probably Thanksgiving weekend, as we used to go to Downer's Grove for Thanksgiving in the late 1970's-1982 or so.

Weird childhood memory while it lasted. Me and my family went there on my 11th birthday in Feb 1978.

Well what happened to the park, don't tell me it doesnt exist anymore?
there are old hotels in Chicago that are still used by the way.

Great pictures! It's pretty much how I remembered it in my head....even the poor lighting!
