The park of music, rides and thrills was named for the 100,000 electric light bulbs out lining buildings and rides. After dark they turned night into day. Enthusiastic writers termed it the great white city of Brush Creek Valley.
Old city maps of 1908 show this amusement park to be located at the extreme southern city limits at 46th and the Paseo and extending east to Woodland.
An important feature of the park was a nightly spectacle of Living Statuary at the fountain in the lake. Here beautiful, shapely young women on a pedestal emerged from the fountain as if by magic and held the crowd spellbound with their graceful poses, while flooded with colored lights that merged, blended and changed shades over their lovely forms.
The park's owners, the Heim brothers, had installed a $70,000 fountain in the lake with a device that elevated a pedestal out of the water, bringing the classic group up from the base (actually the girls' dressing room).
Fireworks, a nightly feature, were shot high over the waters of the lake, and on the Fourth of July were especially elaborate.
John Phillip Sousa, the march king, maintained that the band shell at Electric Park was the best he had ever played in the U.S. or abroad. There were daily concerts both afternoons and evenings by world renowned bands.
Today the entrance to the old park site is occupied by the Village Green apartment complex and shopping center.
