"Philadelphia's Pleasure Palace Place / Newest and Most Magnificent of them All."
Construction of an amusement park along a trolley line was common practice during the 1890s.
Admission was free, but the park was intentionally sited beyond easy walking distance, thus generating trolley traffic.
Woodside Park was located just outside Fairmount Park, along W. Ford Road.
Woodside Park closed after the 1955 summer season.
