Belmont Park

Amusement Park by the Beach

Description

At the dawn of the twentieth century in America, the amusement park and boardwalk was a popular venue for families to go enjoy the thrills of roller coasters and boardwalk food. At Mission Beach, the Belmont Park amusement park can trace back to the mid-1920s when the Giant Dipper roller coaster was opened on the Fourth of July, 1925 as one of the key attractions to the 33 acre site. By the late 70s, the park had eventually fallen into disrepair, and were closed for over a decade until city planners restored the park and brought it back to the public. Since then, it has been bought by a new owner who has spent millions to add attractions and improve the facilities. Today, this historic beach front amusement park is a popular landmark for families because of its kid friendly attractions. Boasting nearly a dozen rides, including the Giant Dipper Coaster, the historic Plunge pool, Beach Blaster, and Flowrider®, as well as a huge array of shops and oceanfront restaurants, Belmont park is sure to have something for the entire family.
