Woodside Amusement Park

It was constructed in 1897 by the Fairmount Park Transportation Company (FPT), and it continued operations until 1955.

[2] The introduction of the trolley also introduced "non-bourgeois elements", and the park lost its "middle class tone".

[3] One of its coasters was transferred to the Million Dollar Pier as "The Skooter" in Atlantic City, New Jersey after the park's closure.

Also in the park was a one-third-mile wooden cycling track,[5] which was used by Major Taylor to break many world records in 1898.

[7] An article published in The New York Times on October 7, 1955, (p.50) stated that a syndicate of real estate investors based in Philadelphia and headed by Lewis Silverman, had purchased the park's rides and intended to relocate the park to a new "two million dollar" amusement park, which was planned to have been constructed in Levittown, Pennsylvania.
