The whole amusement park is gone . . . the area is now a shopping center. All that remains is the merry go round/carousel and it is now inside the building in the food court. There is also a display window around the corner explaining about the good ole days when it was an amusement park and not a shopping center. I do hope you will check out this link: to read more about it. IF you don't have the time, at least enlarge the signs and read about the history of the window display and view three "old" horses that no longer are a part of the carousel, why and their restoration. . .
View of the carousel through the outside windows. . .
Inside view. . .
This and the next photo show the benches you sat on if you did not choose to climb up on a horse. . .
Above and below show two of the beautiful detailed horses. . . 
This, as well as the next photo, shows more comfortable benches. . . 
Another horse. . .did you count the stars on the flag? There are not 50. . . because this horse was made before there were 50 states!
Now we are going around the corner to a display window about Jantzen Beach. You can enlarge my photos to read some of the signs but if you choose to follow the link I provided above, you will get to see and read more detail from the local newspaper back in its glory days.BUT, do enlarge the sign about Hector -- he is the horse with the swastica on his saddle. . .
The brown horse is Hector -- if you enlarge him, you will see the swastica plainly. . . These three horses are not used on the merry go round anymore but retired to greener pastures. Those that once knew them and rode them have many memories of the good ole days. . .
Swimsuits styles keep revolving, don't they? These were made at the famous factory of the same person the center is named after.
It is located across the river from Vancouver, WA in Portland, OR and just a short bus ride away. I hope you enjoyed my tour and link.
