Palisades Amusement Park: Memories

Hello,

I started daydreaming about summers at Palisades Park today and it suddenly dawned on me that there must be a website dedicated to such a wonderful place. I grew up in West New York (40s and 50s) and I could hardly wait till the park opened each year. It was heaven. It was a wonderland of rides when I was little and what a fabulous place to spend my teenage years!! Great shows: Paul Anka and Bobby Rydell stand out. Wow, I remember the first time I was old enough to go without my mother. We just got some buddies together and enjoyed our freedom. What a great pool! You could meet everyone there. The suntan lotion we used was a mixture of baby oil and iodine. You could be a human french fry. What great food! I was happy to see the recipe for those unforgettable french fries. Nothing comes close to them today. I could never forget the roast beef sandwiches washed down with lemonade (from the BIG lemons) or root beer.

Thanks for this site.
