From 1906 to 1913, Oak Cliff was home to an amusement park that, according to its founders, outdid Coney Island.

Lake Cliff Park featured a 2,500-seat theater, an 18,000-square-foot roller-skating rink, a roller coaster, Japanese village, mechanical swings, and water rides.

Dallasites could take a streetcar link straight to its front door and marvel at the park’s electrical lighting.
