Fond Memories

The mere thought of Palisades...

I must say just the mere thought of Palisades Amusement Park brings a smile to my face. I have 3 great memories of the park. My first was that my parents took me to the park when I made my first holy communion. Most kids, at that time, had a party but I wanted to go to the park. My dad borrowed my uncle's 1964 T-Bird and my parents, my sister and I went to the park. To this day I still have the picture of me in my communion outfit in the parking lot with the Cyclone in the background. It is truly my favorite picture.

My 2nd memory, is that my friends and I would take the Kennedy Blvd bus to the park (those of us from Jersey City know what I'm talking about.) and my final fond memory is that every time we would go to the park, my mom wouldn't go on any rides because she got sick but she would always go on the Old Fashion Cars Ride because that she could handle. That ride symbolized our family experience at Palisades Amusement Park. I will always love the park and those great memories.

P.S. What a great site!!!!!!
