Riverside Park
(Late 1800s ?. 1905 - ?)



    The only information so far is that T. M. Harton constructed a Figure 8 coaster there in 1905. It was likely designed by Fred Ingersoll. For a view of a typical Figure 8 design, see the Hanlan's Point article. Other rides opened that year were a "Shoot-the-Chutes" and an "Old Mill" dark ride. The park was managed by Al E. Read.

    Riverside may have eventually closed due to competition from Dominion Park which opened in 1906.
