About the Book, Brief History:
Many B/W photos. Laugh Your Troubles Away at Riverview! For 63 years, just the mention of Riverview Park (Chicago, Illinois) sent tingles down the spines of children all over Chicagoland. Jump on the Fireball and the Crazy Ribbon, the Bobs, Chute the Chutes, Flying Turns, the Whip, and many more. Learn of the rise and fall of this much-missed U.S. amusement park. Also includes a chapter detailing other U.S. parks: Six Flags, Kennywood, Dorney Park, Knott’s Berry Farm, Kings Island and others. Riverview Park was a favorite summertime destination for Chicago children and their families. Although it was a long trip from the Southeast Side to Riverview, it was a rewarding journey on a warm summer day; an event to be savored over the cold winter. Let's make a nostalgic visit. Riverview Park was located at the northwest corner of Western Ave. and Belmont Ave. on Chicago's Northwest Side. When Riverview opened on July 2, 1904, it was the world's largest amusement park. Located on 74 acres, the west side of the park was bounded by the North Branch of the Chicago River. To the north stood the campus of Lane Tech High School. The former grounds are now home to Riverview Plaza shopping center, the Belmont District Police Station, DeVry University, a manufacturing company and Richard Clark Park, part of the Chicago Park District. The south end of Clark Park has a wooded area where many of the Riverview Park foundations are still visible and is currently used as a bicycle dirt jump and pump track park maintained by the Chicago Area Mountain Bikers. A sculpture entitled Riverview by local artist Jerry Peart stands in front of the police station.
