[3][4] A year after the park opened, its owners added a carousel, baseball field, theater, and dance pavilion.

[2] The year 1899 saw the addition of a zoo, picnic grove, and a lake, the latter of which was created by damming the Big Run Creek, which ran through the park.

Pennsylvania Power Company donated Cascade Park to the city of New Castle, stipulating that the area be forever used for public recreation.

The lake, popular for fishing, swimming, and boating, dried up when the Big Run dam broke.

Comet's coaster cars were built by National Amusement Devices, in their Century Flyer style.

The area had fallen on hard economic times, and the coaster was not repaired, eventually being torn down several years later.

[1] During the 1980s, the park's old rides were removed, flowers and shrubs were planted, buildings were improved, public restrooms were built, and a playground was added.
