Clementon
Park is a nearly 100 year old traditional amusement park which has seen
its share of ups and downs throughout the years and shows it.
The park is a mix of classic buildings and
attractions which stand side by side with modern thrill rides.
The park remains popular for companies and
groups to have picnics in the parks pavilions.
The park had some bad luck with the
2004 season, and is currently for sale. |

The park has
many traditional bits and pieces scattered throughout |
The log flume
is quite impressive for such a small park, and cruises over the lake |

nearly a full season of delays opening in 2004, the unfortunately name
Tsunami opened months behind schedule, then had to be renamed after the
events of last Winter, reopening in 2005 as J2 (Jackrabbit 2) |
