    It was so nice to see someone visit and explore my hometown. A lot of your footage was my stomping grounds as a kid. I grew up in Perkasie and still live here. I have visited the indoor Carousel many times and they still have old time ticket prices and great food.

      Hi Jeff,
      I absolutely love Perkasie! Growing up in Philly, I had never even heard of it, but it’s truly a hidden gem.
      Last December, I brought my granddaughter to the tree lighting event, and wow-I was amazed at how many people attended! You have a wonderful hometown, my friend.
      Thank you for watching!

    You did a pretty good job of exploring this park. I would go there as a kid and it’s cool to see all the ruins from when it was an amusement park. Such a cool park.

      I was sort of winging it and probably got a lot wrong. I really need to do more research and go back. Thank you for watching and stay tuned for part 2 😉

    Yes, I agree with you. The boat ramp is really cool!

    I’m 77 and grew up in Sellersville/ Perkasie. It’s pronounced Len’ a pee after the Lenape Native Americans. We went often to the carousel and swam at Menlo. Before my time there was a big wooden slide that I believe was used in winter. Nice tour.

      yes. it was a slide for a toboggan ride I believe. I want to do some research on the place and go back and do another video. Such a cool place!

    In the summers in the late 1800’s, many people vacationed here to escape the summer heat in Philadelphia. There were lots of church organizations like Highland Park in Sellersville where there were cabins used only in the summer. The carousel was open to the air when I was a kid.

      It sounds like it was such a wonderful place back in the day. Sadly, I haven't been able to find a ton of pictures online.

    It is not pronounced lake lee na pay. Rather. Len-a-pee. This is an indian name. My granfather and mother both grew up riding the carousel. This park continued all the way to sellersville with different names I would play soccer in the early 70s closer to sellersville

      The park seems to have alot of history. I was guessing alot in this video. I think I'm going to do some research and go back.
