Owner: John E. Gooding

Location: Western terminus of Puritas Avenue (see map below)

Puritas Springs Amusement Park opened in 1898 and closed down in 1958. It was, at one time, a destination where one could obtain bottled spring water from artesian wells.

The park featured an infamous roller coaster, the Cyclone, that dipped down into the valley and then back up again. A carousel was obtained from Luna Park when it closed down in 1929.

A skating rink and dance hall were also on the grounds.

Fires in 1946, which destroyed the dance hall, and later one in 1958 brought about the demise of the park.

For further information about this park, visit Jim Barrick's website dedicated to John E. Miller, designer and builder of roller coasters. He includes a fascinating virtual ride on the Cyclone which was provided by Jim Kelly.
