Beach Haven
Beach Haven (Berwick), Luzerne County, PA
Over the past year, reports have been coming in about a park called Beach Haven. It is located near the nuclear power plant outside of Berwick, PA. It was once home to a race track that closed in the 1970s. The race track is still very visible on the USGS Topo maps and on the aerial photos (see links on right)

The race track has a small pond in the center and small grandstands near it2

Possible remains of a roller coaster or train2

Possible remains of a Carousel3

Park with possible ride remains4

Also in the area was Happyland Amusement Park, listed in Shickshinny. Could they be the same park? There is also the possibility of an amusement park on Mingles Inn Road, could that be Happyland AP?
