Idora Park Entrance Sign
Posted by LOTGK on February 27, 2008
This was the Idora Amusement Park entrance sign just off of Canfield Road in Youngstown, Ohio. It stood proud and tall for many years. Even years after the park closed in 1984.
A polka festival was the last advertised event at Idora Park. I can see remember the yellow blinking lights and the blue background announcing to all that you had arrived at Idora Park.
The sign has been torn down several years ago but you can still see in the road the indentations where it stood.

Fond memories of a time long forgotten. I was always hoping that Idora Park would somehow come back to life and open up again. What a shame.

Those were great times Jim. We lived close enough that we would ride out bikes and park them at the bicycle racks up front by the Jack Rabbit.
