I worked there as my first job at 15 years old. I worked for the then owners Mr Hurley and Mr Jones. I was The Farmer the job to have. The Farmer was responsible for all the daily maintenance of the park, kitchen and rides and care of the animals in the petting zoo as well as giving each ride worker their lunch break the fix it guy. I worked there from around 1984 till the end of 86 when I got into a big argument with Mr Hurley over the care of the animals and walked out, apparently using a little bit more than a cap full of detergent to clean the animals barn floor cost too much. Went back about two weeks later when asked to come fix the main bearing on the scrambler by the manager (she was a family friend and how I got the job).
Mr Jones and Mr Hurley sold the park to a couple of guys that ran a go cart track out on the Cape. That is when the park began to go to pieces they just wouldn't spend any money at all on anything (even worse than Mr Hurley) and I left permanently after that. Took my kids there around 2002, and it was a far cry from what it had been.
When I worked there they had the Roller Coaster, the Ferris Wheel, the Mary Go Round, the Scrambler, the Octopus, the little battery powered bumper cars (not the remnants of those in one of the pictures), and a small little boat ride thing down near the shoe. Oh, and of course the very annoying kiddie music that blared throughout the park every day over and over and over.
