Journey through time and reminisce about past amusement parks with John Frato, Euclid Beach Park Grand Carousel Training & Volunteer Coordinator. By the turn of the century, there were approximately 30 amusement parks operating in Ohio. A large number operated not only in Cleveland but the surrounding area. The program focuses on Geauga Lake, Chippewa Lake Park, Idora, Luna, Puritas, and Myers Lake and touches on some lesser known parks like Lincoln Park, WilloBeach, Gordon Gardens, and Forest City.
