"Palisades Park" is a song written by Chuck Barris[1] and recorded by Freddy Cannon.
One night he was in Manhattan when he looked toward the New Jersey Palisades Cliffs, on which the amusement park sat.
[2] A tribute to New Jersey's Palisades Amusement Park, it is an up-tempo rock and roll tune led by a distinctive organ part.
In the song, the singer takes a walk after dark and discovers Palisades Park, where he meets and falls in love with a girl.
Released by Swan Records as a B-side to "June, July and August," "Palisades Park" broke in when a Flint, Michigan, radio DJ played it by mistake.
