  • Love it ! When did you go and how did you get there ? My bf just told me the bridge to get there burned down !!!! I need to go there

  • been over a year since I was out there. Email me if you want directions - eblues31@aol.com

  • anyone know why this place went to shit like this?

  • A fire burned down the bridge, restricting access for emergency vehicles. The residents didn't own the land their houses were on, so the town basically took it back and told them they had to abandon their property. A legal battle dragged on for years, during which the community was looted and destroyed. This is what's left.

  • Is this place still around? Or is it all gone now?

  • Still around, although it's been disappearing piece by piece. There have been several fires in the past year. Sadly, the remnants of the carousel (about 1:40 in) were recently torn down.

  • i used to play here as a child, some of my fondest memories were there. I just want to go there again one day, even if all of it was destroyed...

  • I remember going there many times when I was very young... even remember a time of fireworks every Friday or Saturday night, though we'd park across the water in Seaside Park to watch those. What amazes me is no footage of the park from its heydays has yet surfaced. We have family movies that include some footage from Savin Rock and Freedomland, even Storytown USA, Frontiertown USA The Land Of Make Believe and North Pole USA (All in upstate NY) from 1957, but no footage of Pleasure Beach.

  • thats really freaky.here in N.S Canada there is an abandond town with a weird church :0

  • Kinda sad to see all those peoples life dreams destroyed and in ruins. Do you know who owns the land still?

  • nice vid dude. check mine if you get a chance, good song choice

  • nice job, looks like an eerie place

  • ive been to the grounds a few times, every time i see it, i get sad that i never got to see it in its prime. ive made two videos from two of my trips to the beach. it really is something else to be there.

  • do you remember what year all this happenend? thanks for the info, planning on going there sometime soon w/ a couple of friends. take care.
