		<title>White City Amusment Park</title>
		<link>http://www.greatadventurehistory.com/Forums/index.php?showtopic=2495</link>
		<description><![CDATA[There is a park I have been to a few times, Roebling Park in Trenton/Hamilton.  I was reading about the park and came across this information that I thought some of you here would appreciate.  I believe I took a picture of the staircase the last time I was there, I will look for it later to post.  Does anyone else have any information on the park?<br /><br />This information and photos can be found at the <a href="http://www.marsh-friends.org/marsh/topics/White-City/white-city.htm" target="_blank">Friends of the Marsh </a> website.<br /><br /><!--quoteo--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'><!--quotec-->White City Amusement Park was located in Hamilton Twp., just southeast of Trenton, NJ., along the cliffs beside Spring Lake. The is in the area known as Broad St. Park.<br />In 1895, the area was known as Spring Lake Park. It consisted of a picnic area with swings and a merry-go-round. <br /><br />In 1907, White City Amusement Park opened. It was also known as Capital Park. <br /><br />In its heyday, the park boasted a roller-coaster, carousel, scenic railway, among the other rides. They had a Katzenjammer Castle, Mystic Maze, movie theater and other attractions. There was a dancehall with bands playing along the midway. <br /><br />There was boating and fishing on the lake, then known as White City Lake. In the winter, people would use the frozen lake to ice-skate. <br /><br />White City's water flume ride had gondolas that descended from the park above, down the cliffs on concrete chutes and into the lake. <br /><br />The park was located at the end of Harrison Ave., at its intersection with McClellan St. It ran from Sewell St. to Buchanan St. The site is all residential, now. <br /><br />In 1957, the property that was once White City Park was re-dedicated as Broad St. Park. It was meant to be a wildlife refuge. <br /><br />Spring Lake is now part of the John A. Roebling Memorial Park, which is accessible from the end of Sewell St. <br /><br />The mansion house is the only structure still standing, though it's now a private residence. It is hidden in the trees at the end of Harrison Ave. One can still see ruins of concrete railings lining the driveway to the mansion. <br /><br />And from Spring Lake, one can still find the ornate (though, graffitied) concrete staircase that once allowed park visitors to descend to the promenade around the lake.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd--><br /><br /><img src="http://www.marsh-friends.org/marsh/topics/White-City/white-city-photos/wchall.jpg" border="0" class="linked-image" /><br />White City Hall<br /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.marsh-friends.org/marsh/topics/White-City/white-city-photos/wcarcade.jpg" border="0" class="linked-image" /><br />Arcade<br /><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.marsh-friends.org/marsh/topics/White-City/white-city-photos/wctrolleystop.jpg" border="0" class="linked-image" /><br />Trolley Stop<br /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.marsh-friends.org/marsh/topics/White-City/white-city-photos/wcboatdock.jpg" border="0" class="linked-image" /><br />Boat dock on the lake<br /><br /><img src="http://www.marsh-friends.org/marsh/topics/White-City/white-city-photos/wccoaster.jpg" border="0" class="linked-image" /><br /><br />Midway and roller coaster.  <br /><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.marsh-friends.org/marsh/topics/White-City/white-city-photos/wclake.jpg" border="0" class="linked-image" /><br />Spring Lake<br /><br /><img src="http://www.marsh-friends.org/marsh/topics/White-City/white-city-photos/wcpavilion1907.jpg" border="0" class="linked-image" /><br /><br />Midway]]></description>
