Coney Island ParkConey Island Park holds a unique place in the industry as one of the few parks to "close" because of its success, and unlike most of other parks that close, refused to die and is still entertaining visitors to this day. In Coney Island Park it will also never be boring.
The roots of Coney Island Park date back to 1867 when James Parker, an apple farmer, purchased a 400-tree, 20-acre apple orchard on the shores of the Ohio River, about ten miles east of downtown. Later in 1870, a group of Cincinnatians rode their horses out to the land to ask Mr. Parker if they could rent the land for a private picnic, intending to charter a steamboat to bring their group out to the orchard. So what had he done?
Parker, realizing that this was potentially more profitable than apple farming, began renting out his land and built a dining hall, dancing hall and bowling alley. More than that! He even added a mule-powered merry-go-round. As the apple trees died out, Parker replaced them with the maple trees that still shade the grounds. Soon, Parker's Grove was becoming a popular gathering place for residents of the area.
Many years have passed since this but now there is a beautiful park on the area of Parker's garden and you can easily visit it!
