It was the original home of The Rocket, a popular wooden roller coaster currently located at Knoebels Amusement Resort.
Today, the location is a campus of the Alamo Colleges District and no trace remains of the original park.
Playland Park of San Antonio, Texas should not be confused with Playland Park of Houston, Texas which operated around the same time and had a wooden roller coaster similarly named The Skyrocket.
The Rocket was designed and built by Herbert Paul Schmeck and the Philadelphia Toboggan Company.
Knoebels Amusement Resort in Elysburg, Pennsylvania purchased the ride in 1984 and dismantled it in early 1985.
