Part 6/9:
As a hotspot for entertainment, West View Park was home to classic amusement park rides and a grand dance ballroom that hosted major performers. It attracted families for over seven decades but faced competition from newer amusement parks as well. Eventually, attendance dwindled, and the park closed in 1977. Regrettably, the site was redeveloped, erasing physical evidence of its once vibrant presence, yet its spirit lives on in many cherished memories.
