This picture is of the carousel. Remember the beautiful carousel? Riding it as a child and trying to grab the brass ring? Well, most of the horses were sold to a NYC auction house several years ago. Makes me sick to look at the building now :( (Courtesy of Tom Drum)

What's left of The Whip sits just to the left of the carousel. By the way, the roller coaster itself was torn down years ago. I know it was around there somewhere. (Courtesy of Tom Drum)

ep1
This picture is taken from the northern end of the park. This used to be the picnic area. It was flattened a couple of years ago to make way for softball and soccer fields. No more trees. No more hills. Just flat. (Courtesy of Tom Drum)
ep2
Here it is. The midway at Eldridge Park. Well actually, what's left of the midway at Eldridge Park. The game and skeet ball buildings are to the left. (Courtesy of Tom Drum)
ep3
This is a picture of what remains of ??? --- (One of our visitors, Steve, has identified the structure as having been the "Shooting Gallery".) (Courtesy of Tom Drum)
ep4
This picture is taken looking west down the midway. The carousel is to the right, the lake to the left. That thing in the middle is what's left of the entrance way to one of a ride whose name eludes me. --- (One of our visitors, Steve, has identified the object in the center of the photo as being the remnants of the entrance to "The Scrambler".) (Courtesy of Tom Drum)
ep5
This building sits just to the right of where the skeet ball building is located. It was a ticket booth. (Courtesy of Tom Drum)
ep6
This is a picture of the old "docking area" for the boat that used to cruise the lake. (Courtesy of Tom Drum)
