We lived about 4 miles from there on Lockwood Blvd in the late 60s- early 70s. Great memories as a kid with my sister and parents. Mom and Dad have passed away since. Miss them and the time of my youth.
We could walk to the park from our house. Best french fries ever! Back then you could group together and go without your parents. Lots of fun, that I can remember!
Been there twice,from my grandmas house on Schenley you could see the jack rabbit.July 4 th1968 I remember sitting in front of grandmas house watching the fireworks above Idora.53 yrs ago yesterday!!!
I personally feel, idora park should be absorbed into mill creek, and hopefully they could spruce it up like cascade park in new castle. The have little packards of where all the rides were.
@@mickyparise I knew they had bought the property and had no use for anything but the ballroom. I figured there would be remodeling but it is gone! I am going to reassess my opinion of pentecostals.
I had great times there! WHOT Day in '74 with Left End, Todd Rungren, The Raspberries, and Tony DeFranco and The DeFranco Family!!!! "Bad Talkin' Lady!!!"

We had so many fun days at Idora Park. We never knew how lucky we were to have this fun park in our backyard. Thanks for sharing this.

Not too much left except for the great memories. Nice photography!
Thank you! Very touching. Soo many happy memories there.
Can barely tell there was anything there. I'll always remember riding the coasters with my mom.
Grew up there in Youngstown, Idora was our hangout, our first jobs as teens, what fun is was,,,the memories will never leave..
I miss the disc jockey Boots Bell.At least mill creek park is still nice.

Bless you. I grew up at Idora in a different way. My Dad owned the Auto Skooter while I was growing up.
Just memories of a place that was. I don't understand why they didn't rebuild it . Piece by piece little by little
Great clip Micky, thanx for sharing it.
Thank You!
I'm now saddened after watching this video
At the ballroom circa 1960 met Lawrence Well. Great music too many top name entertainers to mention.

Was surprised to see in this video that all the buildings and structures were gone.
They were finally demolished almost exactly 20 years before you left that comment.
I TI thought some of the buildings were still there
Who owns the property now
The idiots at Mt. Calvary Pentecostal Church and they filed bankruptcy and still refuse to sell it.....
