[1] In its heyday as an amusement park, through the 1960's, it spanned the street in Council Bluffs that began from the old bridge in Omaha across the Missouri river.
The park eventually had to give up the land on the south side of the street to make room for road and bridge changes.
It was also known as Playland Speedway and aerial images exist of the park and track.
The Playland Speedway was originally a dog racing track formed in 1941, but was shut down in 1943.
The area is now parkland and the eastern entrance to the Bob Kerrey Pedestrian Bridge.
