Vollmar's Park
Bowling Green, Ohio 43402 USA
The pictures were
taken in 2006 on a trip I took to the Vollmar's park in Bowling Green
Ohio. The park was actually suggested to me by I believe a family member
of the park's owners, or perhaps a close friend. I don't recall exactly.
The park, closed in 2001ish, is now sitting along the river sort of
rotting away. Without having ever been to the park, its tough to tell
exactly what the atmosphere may have been like. The location, along
the river, is pretty neat actually, but the layout of the grounds is
unusual. The ballroom, many of the shops, and other buildings, are in
one section, which requires crossing a bridge, then there is another
section that looks more park like with a covered bridge, and lastly,
a section right when you pull in that has an old hotel. Anyway... here
are the pictures I took in 2006. Sorry for the blur, but this was before
my tripod days. |

A weird slotted mural

I'm assuming this
was an entrance to the dance floor at one point. |
