Woodside Park Demolition

Deprived of public transportation access since 1946, Woodside Park in the postwar era may have been worth more to real-estate developers than to amusement park entrepreneurs. At all events, the park was demolished in 1955, and a sizable portion of the land was sold for residential and commercial development. Woodside Park’s famed Dentzel Carousel, now housed at the Please Touch Museum, only a mile from its original home, is the park’s only surviving attraction.
