Rocky Point Amusement Park, Warwick, Rhode Island
Since 1847 Rockey Point Amusement park was the place to go in Rhode Island.
Rocky Point Park was the second oldest operating park in the US. Rocky point was famous for the World's Largest Shore Dinner Hall with seating for 4,000 people. The shore dinner hall was renown for its Rhode Island clam chowder, clam cakes, authentic clambakes and the world famous Rocky Point shore dinners. Rocky Point sadly closed in 1994.
(This of course is a picture I made up since the park was long gone when I put it together for this page)
Too many of these old amusement parks have been closed to build shopping malls or apartments for rent in recent years. At least Rocky Point didn't share that fate. The property was purchased by the state of Rhode Island to create a State Park.
