[1] Constructed and owned by Frederick Ingersoll, the park occupied a 16 acre[2] hilly site bounded on the south by Atlantic Avenue (now Baum Boulevard) and on the west by North Craig Street,[3] and included many rides and amusements.
Only a few of these parks still operate today, including one in Mexico City, one in Athens, and one in Melbourne.
[1] Luna Park offered many different attractions, including roller coasters, picnic pavilions, a carousel, a fun house, a Ferris wheel, a roller rink, a shoot-the-chutes ride, bumper cars, a concert shell, a dance hall, and a baby incubator exhibit.
[4] The cost of upgrading and maintaining his amusement parks proved to be too much for Ingersoll to handle, as he declared bankruptcy in 1908.
[4] Aside from the aforementioned tribute at Kennywood, no other remnants of Pittsburgh's Luna Park exist, notably due to a lack of historical markers.
