History of Newton Lake Park, located along the lake bearing its name in Greenfield Township, opened in 1917. The 50 acre park was built and owned by Frank Wagner bet on the beauty of the lake and the improvement of roads and automobiles for his park’s success.
Rides at the park throughout the years included a miniature railroad, whip, hey dey, dodgems, ferris wheel (which carried the serial number 003), boat rides, several kiddie rides, a 50 passenger show boat, carousel, and roller coaster.
The carousel sported 48 hand carved wooden figures, and was constructed in Austria in 1881.
In 1919, an 80 foot by 90 foot dance pavilion was constructed with ‘bridge-type loins’. In 1924 GB, it was remodeled, and a 6 foot wide promenade was added.
The roller coaster was built in 1924, and had a very unique track system. A six inch wide and four inch tall ‘T’ shaped iron rail ran along the center, which held the coaster cars on the track. To remove the cars from track for maintenance, a section of the track would have to be removed. The track design was an out and back type through wooded terrain along the lake, and the lift hill chain was powered by a one horse power diesel engine.
Bands played music in the dance hall, while the crowds poured in for different Sunday School picnics, church outings, and reunions, and special events like the ‘Miss Anthracite’ beauty contest. The park bottled its own soda and made its own ice cream, along with the other standard concessions. In one ad, park management thanked the 75,000 people who spent the 4th of July at the park, shattering previous records at ‘Lackawanna County’s Lake Resort’.
The roller coaster closed in 1952, possibly due to a hurricane, but more likely because the aging roller coaster did not comply with safety standards - such as having a catwalk along the tracks.
