Nunley's Amusement Park in Baldwin Long Island Circa 1982!

Take a walk down memory lane. This place is long gone, shut down 14 years ago and is now a Pep Boys where it used to be. It remains a significant memory for many people who grew up on Long Island New York. These home videos were taken by my father in 1983. Nothing spectacular happens in the video, but it does show a lot of footage of the park when it was still in its prime. We miss you Nunleys!

WOW! Excellent post! I do remember this place, only I was going in the mid to late '60s, though it looks mostly the same circa '82. Wow- the hand-cranked carts- This IS what they looked like in the '60s.

@goodcopbadcopmusic - have you seen the carousel? It's been fixed up and is now displayed and opened to the public up by Nassau Community College (by the aviation museum)

Yes, I read that, ultimately, it was refurbished and and operating near Nassau Community College. That said, I lost touch with L.I. in the mid to late 70s when I went upstate to college, the to NYC, then to L.A. Would love to go back to visit for nostalgic reasons. Remember Wetson's hamburgers? There was one right by Nunley's

We used to go to Nunleys in the early 70's as kids, and then I took my children there in the mid 80's. What a paradise for little children. I loved the carousel, the bumper cars, the spinning cups, "ski-ball" and the fortune teller machine.

I used to love the crank carts....on the train tracks.

Hi Steve! Are you the "Sparky" with the white 'vette who sold video in Carle Place? It's Chris from "home office!"

What a trip. I grew up in RVC and spent a lot of time here as a kid.

Thanks for posting!
