Geocache Description:

a place with fond memories from my childhood...


Many area residents remember Rocky Glen Park, from the late 1800s to 1987. Not only did it hold the record for the longest run of any park in the region, 101 years, but Rocky Glen also boasted the most roller coasters over the course of its enduring history.  A desired stop for summertime amusement and entertainment, the park was once the standard for the trolley park experience.  Since 1987, the property continues to deteriorate. Abandoned buildings, rusty signs, and overgrown weeds now occupy the place where family and friends once spent counteless afternoons.

micro hidden in a place that makes me sad to see this way, many childhood weekends were spent here and lots of good memories, I wish they would make something good like a park for the community here, I wanted to put the cache down towards the other entrance, but the people in the first house were staring me down, so This is the top parking lot. learn about the park at these websites
