Description
Children ride Jane's Carousel in Brooklyn Bridge Park with the Manhattan Bridge in the background.
Brooklyn Bridge Park is now home to an historic and beautifully restored carousel, a gift of Jane and David Walentas. Built in 1922 by the Philadelphia Toboggan Company, the carousel was purchased in 1984 and painstakingly restored to its original condition. The carousel is located in the Empire Fulton Ferry section of Brooklyn Bridge Park, housed in an extraordinary new pavilion, designed by Pritzker-prize winning architect Jean Nouvel. The carousel will be operated year-round for the enjoyment of children of all ages.

OMG! I grew up with this Carousel, it was rescued from Idora Park in Youngstown, Ohio, the history behind this is amazing!! I have a pic of me on the white horse! I rode that horse every weekend from 1955-1978! I love this image! Will have to purchase a copy for our HS Reunion! The Idora Park Carousel! AMAZING FIND!
