About Crescent Amusement Park
This hotspot is at the location of the now defunct Crescent Amusemant Park.

Crescent Park was a famous amusement park in Riverside from 1886-1979. During the park's 93-year run, it entertained millions of New Englanders as well as people from all over the world. The park was famous for its sumptuous Rhode Island Shore Dinners and the beautiful Alhambra Ballroom as well as its enchanting midway. Declining attendance during the 1970s forced the park to close. The land was cleared for a condominium development. The only remaining amusement ride is the completely restored 1895-vintage Crescent Park Looff Carousel, designed and built by Charles I.D. Looff as a showpiece for his carousel business. From Wikipedia
