Kiddieland Amusement Park. (Gone.) Melrose Park Illinois. 1969., a photo by Eddie from Chicago on Flickr.
This photograph was sent to me recently, by a Mr Mark Yurkiw, who has attended a few of my occasional public speaking appearances.
Seen here in 1969, is the gas powered streamlined Kiddieland Limited train at Chicago's Kiddieland Amusement Park in Melrose Park Illinois.
Kiddieland was in business here at the northwest corner of North and First Avenues in Melrose Park Illinois for 81 years from 1928 to 2009.
Kiddieland is greatly missed by many of it's former patrons today, as it was the very last amusement park of it's kind in the greater Chicagoland area.
Thank you Mark.
Eddie K.
