Many old timers still called it "Palisade" Amusement Park even after the Rosenthals took over. When the Rosenthals bought the Park in 1935, they called it Palisades Amusement Park which remained till the Park closed in 1971. During the Schenck era, it was referred to as both "Palisades" and "Palisade" Amusement Park but mostly "Palisade" (without the "S"). It seems that this was the first time the "s" was dropped from "Palisades". When it opened under new ownership in 1908, it was officially called "Palisades Amusement Park". Two years later, the Park was purchased by the Schenck Brothers and they renamed the Park "Schenck Brothers Palisade Park". It was originally known as "The Park on the Palisades" when the trolley company owned it (1898-1908). Technically, both versions are correct!The name of the park differed slightly from time to time. The Park changed every year, bringing in new rides and attractions and getting rid of the old and tired ones. Where can I see a map of "Palisades Amusement Park"?
