Located on the city's West Side and bounded by present-day Park and Glenwood avenues, Park Drive, Grant Street and the river, its main attraction was the elaborate roller coaster seen here in 1916.
Among other features were a dance pavilion and a roller skating rink where races were often held.
Streetcars provided access from all over the Valley and steamboat excursions to Luna Park were popular.
On one long-ago Fourth of July, more than 30,000 people paid 15 cents to take in the delights of the tree-shaded park.
Almost all prosperous towns like Charleston had their amusement parks, including Parkersburg's Terrapin Park and of course Cincinnati's Coney Island.
After the 1923 fire, the owners wanted to rebuild but couldn't raise the money.
The walkways were eventually paved over and the park became a residential area.
The outlines of the park can be seen by the odd arrangement of streets in the neighborhood.
