Item 485610 ◊ Early 1900's PostCard of Scarborough Beach Amusement Part at Night, Toronto, Canada
Rare and historical "Early 1900's PostCard of Scarborough Beach Amusement Park at Night, Toronto, Canada."    The Manufacturer was Valentine & Sons Publishing Co, Ltd. Printed in Great Britain.
In the heyday of waterfront amusement parks, Toronto had FOUR of them.   One of them,
The
Scarborough Beach Amusement Park,
was located on the south side of Queen Street, a few blocks east of Kew Gardens.
Though not as well known as other parks, it did brisk trade thanks to its excellent streetcar connections. The main attraction was a roughly 20 to 30 metre log flume called "Shoot the Chutes" that plunged riders into a pool of water, a "Whirl of Pleasure," a wooden rollercoaster, and something called "The Tickler," tagline: "It's a scream from start to finish."
In later years the park was bought out by the Toronto Railway Company, which later balked at maintaining the attraction. The land was sold to property developers.
This amazing postcard is in excellent condition, with a little bit of corner wear, but no surface or edge wear.  The back is also very clean.  It  was never  sent through the mail.  (Please see the photos above.)
Unique and outstanding "Early 1900's PostCard of Scarborough Beach Amusement Par at Night, Toronto, Canada," and a fantastic addition to any postcard collection!!
