Palisades Amusement Park Memories

Fond Memories

No two words have been more linked to Palisades Amusement Park than "Fond Memories." I have received thousands of letters and email over the past few years and I wish I had the time to post every one of them. But here are some of the best ones.

I do read every email but only a small number can be posted due to both space restrictions as well as time.

Send your favorite memories of Palisades to me and who knows... maybe you'll make it to the Fond Memories Wall of Fame!
