Whalom Park News

What happened to Whalom Park??

Whalom Park closed after the 2000 season, and remained closed.  The rides were sold as was anything not permanantly fixed to the ground.  In 2006 the property was purchased by Global Development Corp.  A multi-million dollar, 240 unit 'gated' condominium complex is planned for the property, to be named "Emerald Estates".

A note from the director of "Whalom Park ~ For A Whale of a Time"

Since producing the dvd on Whalom Park, (of which hundreds of orders from all over the country) I have also received hundreds of calls, emails, and folks stopping by to share their thoughts and memories of the wonderful times they had at the park. First loves, first dates, first jobs - so many stories, so many memories...

I am planning a new film which will incorporate many of these stories for all to share.  If you might like to be included in this new DVD, please email us with your memory of Whalom Park.  Or if you have any photos, video, etc. we will be happy to consider all.

Thank you to everyone who has shared their stories with us, and purchased a DVD.

HAPPY NEW YEAR - 2008!    Good things are yet to happen.        Paul L'Ecuyer
