Memphis Kiddie Park

Memphis Kiddie Park is an 11-ride amusement park located in Brooklyn, Ohio, designed specifically for children and families.

Memphis Kiddie Park opened on May 28, 1952. The park was one of several designed and opened by Stuart Winter, who eventually closed all but the Memphis Kiddie Park to focus on his chain of indoor movie theatres. Though Mr. Winter has since died, the park remains in operation and is owned by his widow.

The park is home to the "Little Dipper" roller coaster—the oldest operating steel roller coaster in North America.

The 11 rides at Memphis Kiddie Park are:

  • Comets (Space shuttle ride that moves up and down) HL
  • Jeeps (Cars that spin around) HL
  • Ferris Wheel HL
  • Boats (Floats around in circles) HL
  • Pony Carts (Chariot-style cars that travel in a loop) HL
  • Merry-Go-Round
  • Train (Travels around the perimeter of the park and Miniature Golf)
  • Hand Carts (The children power themselves on little carts around a track) HL
  • Speedway (Motorized race cars that travel around the Little Dipper) HL
  • Little Dipper roller coaster
  • Space Shuttles (Smaller version of the Comets, doesn't elevate) HL

Rides that have a HL in front of them mean that the ride has a height limit. The height limit for those rides is UNDER 50".

In addition to the rides, the park also has a miniature golf course for both kids and adults to enjoy.

Famous quotes containing the word park:

    Mrs. Mirvan says we are not to walk in [St. James’s] Park again next Sunday ... because there is better company in Kensington Gardens; but really, if you had seen how every body was dressed, you would not think that possible.
    Frances Burney (1752–1840)
