Erie Beach Park

I thought I would put up a couple of neat pictures from Erie Beach Park which I posted about a few days back.  It's pretty cool to see how nature reclaims something after the casino, concession stands and choo choo train rides rides ceased to exist, back came the big bluestem (Andropogon gerardii), swamp white oak (Quercus bicolor), hop tree (Ptelea trifoliata) and Fowler's toad (Anaxyris fowleri).




Check out some of these links with photos of the old amusement park.  You can see the children's swimming pool in my first picture: 1, 2, 3.

  1. Did you have any apparition sightings of a woman in turn of a century clothing or of a small boy? I was completely unaware of the history of this site - thanks for sharing! I also had no idea that bumper cars and roller-coasters have been around for as long as they have! Humans are quite somethin'
