I went with a local photo group this last Saturday to an abandoned amusement park near Harrison, Arkansas.

The park opened in the 1960s financial troubles and mismanagement led to its closure in the early 1990s. It has been abandoned ever since but the current owner has cleaned it up a bit and plans to use the property for something, not sure what

Great choice to use black and white. You captured the desolation.

OH yea, I remember seeing bill boards to this place along the highways of southern Missouri when I was a kid. Sad it's gone. Your Nice images in B & W speak of abandonment. Great Job!

Too bad we can't see the outside--rides, concessions, etc.

This park didn't have that many rides and the ones that were there are pretty much gone. I will be posting more images as I get them edited.
