My family visited my grandparents for Easter who live 5 minutes away from Whalom Park. As a kid I went there every year. I loved that park. I never knew about the road that goes right by Whalom Lake and directly behind the park. I took a detour around the back of the park and I saw the destruction on the ballroom. It was hard to look at it first hand because of all the great memories I got from that park. It was right next to The Flyer Comet. I never seen this view of the park and it looks so helpless with the SBNO Comet and the burnt down ballroom. It was quite a site to see. I really hope the ballroom can get repaired and the park reopened. It would be an absolute shame to have this park destroyed.
