Most new and old parks, had a place for the kiddies. Training for when they tackle the bigger rides.

Looks so lonely, so neglected. It just seems so far away from those years of being a place for kids to yell and scream and laugh with enjoyment.

PEB is correct. This is the Beer Garden (one of 2) that was in the shadow of the Corkscrew Roller Coaster (no longer there obviously).

This is not a small carousel...It was a small hot dog and food stand located behind the cork screw roller coaster..I used to work in it!

This structure housed one of the little Kiddie Rides. I think they were the little boats that went around and round. The park also has a very collectable ride we called the Catapiller, because it was shaped like a Catapiller. I can't remember the exact name, but a plaque said this ride was an original and one of only a few left. It was built at the turn of the last century.

This was one of the beer gardens that sat off from the Corkscrew.

I never saw anyone in there, except for kids getting high or mother's changing their kids diapers (which most of the time they left behind)

It is sad to see my childhood overgrown. I was born & raised in Oakdale,CT. I went to Rocky Point every summer until I moved away. I moved to Warwick,RI in 1999. I was stunned to find out the demise of the park. It was like somebody tore away a chunk of your youth never to get it back. It is again so sad to see the once mighty go down like that. If I had the $$,I would bring it back. it is/was a New England institution. I can still taste the chowder & clam cakes.

It all makes me think of Astroworld. I so loved Astroworld, and last year they destroyed it. And with Katrina destroying most of Louisiana, it's like my childhood has been completely destroyed. *sniff*

Is the corkscrew that everybody's talking about here the one that is at Cedar Point in Ohio?

Megan....the answer to your question is "no". The Rocky Point Corkscrew is now somewhere in Washington state and has been renamed 'The WIld Thing"

these pics just tear me up. I always lived in mass but the rest of the family lived in and around woonsocket and my brother and when were little we would go there every summer with my aunts. I can remember being there as young as 3 and I am now 32 . My brother is living out of state and my beloved aunt died of cancer back in 2002. Thespics sure bring up alot of bittersweet memories and I'm sure I'm not alone.

This reminded me of a park shelter out in the rural bits of my state. Empty, isolated .. out in that sea of waving plants. In the end, are the plants going to eat it up? Kind of a random musing .. ;)
