I was on the island last year (2021) and there are no structures or any evidence of manmade structures left. Nature has claimed everything, still a fascinating place to go though!Kevin Sheahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07035124304067060261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1841187807766622012.post-24011334417603474432014-05-30T10:36:09.819-04:002014-05-30T10:36:09.819-04:00Thank you guys!Thank you guys!Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16270272435334191397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1841187807766622012.post-88167009335076103572014-05-26T10:38:37.098-04:002014-05-26T10:38:37.098-04:00I can answer a few of your question: Oakland park ...I can answer a few of your question: Oakland park was located at the intersection of William Penn Highway and Oakland Park Road about where the Bethlehem Township municipal building is, that was also a trolley park. The carousel at least the last time I heard anything about it is located somewhere in Ohio and stored in a warehouse. I have a few postcard from Island Park that can be seen if you visit me at the lock tender's house at Hugh Moore Park, I do tour of the house on the weekends during the canal boat season, this year starting June 7Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13175231428973059693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1841187807766622012.post-18053124896743657612014-03-04T01:36:32.765-05:002014-03-04T01:36:32.765-05:00I can help with info on carousel or at least get y...I can help with info on carousel or at least get you in touch with the person who can answer carousel questions and where it is now. I worked at bushkill Park in the early 80's and I was at the park on that last day the original carousel operated. I worked for Ma long...daughter of the long Family who had stake in island park. She was an old woman when I worked for her. 70's<br />I am from South Side Easton. I am fascinated with Easton History but that park has an air of mystery about it. Going to that island is a bucket list item for me since I was first informed of the one time existence of Great Island Park (smith Island). I plan on trying to go there before the vegetation starts this year (2014 early spring-soon depending on snow). Perhaps I could even get on the island. That's why I am looking for a map so I could have some perspective and take some pics of what is there now. <br /> I am sure the layout of the rides and where things were situated has to exist somewhere. I am going to try Easton library and records and deeds. One thing Easton is fairly good at is keeping their historic records.....It's finding where they stored it will be the trick. <br />Email me at asmedellin@rcn.com Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08842045184273716292noreply@blogger.com
