 Lawrence Welk, Frank Lombardo, and The Golden Gate Five (a popular local band) were among the headliners.Steve Woodward, Guy Moffitt and Tom Sloan were financial backers credited with building the park on property formerly owned by the Wickerham family, one of the pioneer families in the area.The Depression, World War II, declining ridership on the trolley, and interest in other forms of entertainment, are all credited with the park's demise.
