Crapo Park, Burlington, Iowa. It had some kind of Amusement Park up till maybe the 1980's.

I remember the slide very well. There used to be a double slide near the curly slide. You went up one set of stairs and at the top you had a choice to go down a straight slide or a bumpy one. It was great! I have a question. What was the name of the amusement park that used to be in the corner of the park? There were bumper cars, a roller coaster, swings, a train, cars you could ‘drive’ and other great rides. We used to go there with our Grandmother when we were kids in the 1970’s. If there are any pictures of when it was up and running, that would be great to see! Thanks!

When I was a child in the 1950s, going to Crapo Park in the summer meant riding their small but fun selection of motorized rides. The roller coaster was fun, and the bumper cars were also very popular. This photo was taken in about 1985; the amusement park area was covered with weeds.
