The merry-go-round, two historic cottages and a historic house are the structures temporarily saved from demolition under the bylaw.

Sure, we knew this day was coming for a long time....but now the final saga of the century-old park is written. Sad day indeed! :(
I feel especially bad for those who grew up in Whalom Park; it was a park unlike the urbanized parks of today. You could ride the Flyer Comet over and over, and they would just ask "who wants to stay on?" They also had some pretty unique rides there, like the Tumble-Bug and the Rok and Roll, It's a shame they couldn't establish themselves a National Landmark or something. R.I.P. Whalom Park.
