Olentangy Park and Theater Wiki
Olentangy Park, sometimes called Olentangy Amusement Park, was an amusement park that operated from 1896-1937[1][2] in Columbus, Ohio, in what is now the Clintonville neighborhood. Built mostly between the Olentangy River and North High Street and North Street and Tulane Road,[3][4] the park offered over 120 attractions and rides over the years and a theater showing various vaudeville and stock company performances. This wiki is a companion to OlentangyPark.com, a Practical Time Travel project. Both this wiki and OlentangyPark.com are under construction, and this wiki will be updated the most during the research stage.
