- Description
- Patterned after Coney Island on the southern shore of Lake Erie in Cleveland's Collinwood neighborhood, the park was transformed after 1901 by the Humphrey family into an alcohol-free, family-oriented resort. Its racially discriminatory admission policies were the target of Congress of Racial Equality sit-in protests in the summer of 1946, one of which ended in a park police officer shooting a Cleveland patrolman. After the park's 1969 closure, a series of unsolved arson fires destroyed most of its structures; the entrance arch survives as a designated Cleveland landmark, and the 1910 carousel was saved, relocated twice, and restored for public operation at the Western Reserve Historical Society in 2014.
