Description |
Minerva Park views showing the jail and water tower, the lake, and dance pavilion. Minerva Amusement Park debuted May 15, 1895. Situated on 150 acres of wooded land, the park offered picnics by the lake, bowling alleys, baseball diamonds, a target range, tennis courts, amusement rides, an Ornithology Museum, and monkey, bear, and deer exhibits. The main attraction at Minerva Park was the Casino. Built in four weeks for $50,000, the Casino housed an auditorium larger than any theatre in Columbus, Ohio. Vaudeville and musical greats were featured in the 2,500-seat facility where box seats could be purchased for twenty-five cents. After seven exciting years Minerva Park closed on July 27 1902. The park's remoteness and inadequate transportation facilities could not compete with the newer, nearer, and more easily accessible Olentangy Park. The Minerva Park subdivision began construction August 30, 1927. |
