| I was quite surprised while riding through
Lewistown one day when I looked over and saw what looked like it
could have been an old park and knowing one was in the Lewistown
area, I looked harder. What I saw, shocked me, there was a sign
that read "Scooter Building". I quickly turned in and
asked what the park was - Kish park was the answer, hardly
anyone pronounced the parks full name.
The park is now known as Derry Township Community Park but
for many of the residents, will always be Kish Park.
- The park had the following rides3
- A Junior Roller Coaster3
- A Dark ride called Fun In The Dark3
- Bumper Cars (scooters)3
- Hand Crank kiddie cars on a track3
- Swan Boats3
- Kiddie circular boat ride3
The cement "ring" where the kiddie circular boat
ride was and the pond for the swan boats remain as does the
Scooter building and the dark ride building3
The coaster likely sat behind the Scooter building and the
dark ride3
