According to www.camdenpark.com:
Our roots began in the bygone era of the streetcar. By the late 19th century almost every large town in America had streetcars and many had Parks to boost weekend and holiday traffic. Originally developed as a picnic area by the Camden Interstate Railway in 1903 Camden Park has survived into the 21st century as a thriving traditional amusement park.
Over the years Camden has been the setting for baseball games, tens of thousands of picnics, fairs, marathon dances, roller derbies, flagpole sitting, a swimming pool, a zoo, plus numerous attractions and rides.
