Luna Park was a trolley park (a type of amusement park ) in Cleveland , Ohio , from 1905[1] [2]
Specifications
[ edit ]
Constructed by Frederick Ingersoll , the park occupied a hilly 35-acre (140,000 m 2 roller coasters , carousels , a fun house , a Ferris wheel , a roller rink , a shoot-the-chutes ride, a concert shell, a dance hall , bumper cars , a baseball field, and a 20,000-seat[3] stadium (unofficially called "Luna Bowl", destroyed by fire in August, 1929Clipped From The Akron Beacon Journal ) in which American football was played.[1]
On May 18, 1905, Cleveland's Luna Park became the second Ingersoll park of that name (out of 44)[1] [4] Luna Park, Pittsburgh , which opened weeks earlier) to be covered with electrical lighting.[4]
History
[ edit ]
The monetary demands of upgrading and maintaining his embryonic chain of amusement parks forced Ingersoll, the original owner of Cleveland's Luna Park, to declare bankruptcy in 1908;[5] [1] [6] paving company in the world.[7] trolley park grew, in part because beer was sold on the park grounds.[1]
After the passage of the Eighteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution and the beginning of Prohibition (1920), a primary source of revenue was removed as the park's popularity waned. Bramley officially closed the gates to Luna Park in 1929 for the final time as the Great Depression took hold in the United States. The park was beset with incidences of arson , including the fire that destroyed the football stadium, and most of the rides were dismantled and moved to other amusement parks in the early 1930s.[8] [9] [10] [10]
Luna Bowl tenants
[ edit ]
The stadium at Luna Park The Cleveland Panthers of the first American Football League and the Cleveland Bulldogs of the National Football League played their home games in Luna Bowl ,[3] Federal League Cleveland Green Sox ,[11] Negro league baseball teams Cleveland Tigers (1928) Cleveland Stars (1932), Cleveland Giants (1933), and Cleveland Red Sox (1934).[12]
