The Amusement Park at Sloan's Lake

The Amusement Park at Sloan's Lake

The Lost History of Denver's Manhattan Beach

By David Forsyth

Publisher: TwoDot

Imprint: TwoDot

Operating from 1890 to 1914, Manhattan Beach Amusement Park was the first true amusement park in Denver and was enjoyed by residents and visitors for nearly twenty-five years as Denver tried to shake off its image as a dusty cow town from gold mining days and fought to be seen as a sophisticated and well-developed city. Manhattan Beach played an important role in amusement park history in the United States, but its full story has never before been told. The park has also inspired many legends. Much of what has been told about Manhattan Beach in the years since it closed is more myth than fact, as this book demonstrates.
