After photographing what was left of the ballroom, I took what may be my last walk around the park saying my last goodbyes. These were my observations.
The Jack Rabbit was untouched by the fire. Both it and Wild Cat still stand in their deteriorated state. Rumor has it that both are slated for destruction soon.
The two concessions stands north of the Wildcat are still standing. The French Fry stand, the kiddy coaster, and the bathhouse have been leveled and cleared. The picnic pavillions have met the same fate.
The Icee Stand still remains.
A friend in the construction industry informed me that a trade newletter recently announced that construction of a new building (for the church that owns the property) was slated to break ground in the near future.
