The gorilla house is still there, the elephant barn, the main office and the old lady of the shoe red shoe. Sadly between the vandals and the state DOT many of the land mark buildings are now gone due to ignorance and criminal acts of destruction and arson. We are looking forward to family's creating new wonderful memories in a all new kind of family park. The park also has a VERY active page on Facebook with some awesome photos from the past and present. -Dana Just an update, the park after 20 years left rotting, vandalized, and legally trashed by the state of NH DOT is finally reopening as a city passive recreational park on Memorial day 2010 after many years of clean up.

It lasted only a season or two. I covered it (with photos) in Apatoons at the time. Thanks, --Harry It’s all true–and weirdly, it opened -after- I wrote my theme park article.

I'm perfectly willing to believe they adopted a Terrytoons theme, but did the characters featured genuinely include such lesser lights as Sad Cat and Lariat Sam? (Did you visit the place?)
