Bushkill Park Flood 04 page at RideZone

On Saturday, September 18th, the banks of the Bushkill Creek overflowed into Bushkill Park causing extensive damage and covering the park in mud. Below are just a few images taken three days later. In these pictures, the park has already cleaned up much of the major debris and are hard at work to restore it to the place we know and love.
New (added 9-23-2004) The next five pictures have been sent to RideZone courtesy of Wayne Smith. They show just how much water was running through the park. Click on any image below for a larger view
The sign that faces Park Avenue looking across what would normally be a small creek.	This is also looking across from park Avenue just to the left of the Bushkill sign. The parking lot is in the background.
This is the train shed.	These pavilions are at a level that is the same as much of the park.
Note the depth of water under the pavilions.	RideZone wishes to thank Wayne Smith for providing these photos which clearly show what the park went through on Saturday, September 18th.
