Freddie Cannon!
Oh what fun Palisades Park was! Spent my growing up years there. My brother and I would go with Mom and Dad at least once a month and when older, was the perfect place to go on a date!
Palisades Amusement Park was a thirty-acre amusement park located in Bergen County, New Jersey, across the Hudson River from New York City. It was located atop the New Jersey Palisades lying partly in Cliffside Park and partly in Fort Lee. The park operated from 1898 until 1971, remaining one of the most visited amusement parks in the country until the end of its existence. After the park closed in 1971, a high-rise luxury apartment complex was built on its site.
