Description

Since its opening in 1897, Cascade Park has welcomed thousands of visitors to its picnic grove, summer cottages, mineral springs, dance pavilion, swimming pool, baseball field, zoo, boat rides, outside theater, fireworks, and a lot of other amusements. The park is an unusually beautiful natural setting with Big Run Falls, Cat Rocks, a gorge, rolling hills, shady walkways, and even a ginkgo tree or two. In the 1890s, when it used to be referred to as a trolley park, crowds of visitors arrived by streetcar. Eventually automobiles took over, and the roller coaster used to be dismantled to create space for a carpark. Today automobiles spill out of the car parking zone every year when more than 1,000 vintage cars trip to the Back to the 50’s Weekend, now in its 25th year. This and other circle of relatives-oriented events continue the tradition of good times in Cascade Park.
