Located in Hunlock Creek, PA which is close to Nanticoke lies the Abandoned Remains of an Amusement Park called Croop's Glen. It was a small park located on beautiful grounds that featured a stream, pavilion, swimming pool and a few rides. Knoebels Amusement Park purchased some of the items once the park closed and they remain in operation today. Come with me as we see what is left of the once popular park. Enjoy the video

Your finds in the woods are very interesting, places forgotten in time. I enjoy your videos and your knowledge
Hi Jp ! I’m sitting here today going through your awesome work and come across this one It’s beautiful listening to all of the nature sounds and faint snap of foliage under your feet as you walk, beautiful place I’m glad I found it. I do like to hear you talk too though you’re very good at what you do !!
Thanks peggy
You said you aren't a great speaker ....I disagree . I like the videos where you talk as you explore . You have a slow paced "chat " with us that adds to the experience . The park closed during the WW II years ? That's sad ...people needed something fun to do during those trying times I'm sure. A beautiful place full of happy memories from days gone by .....you did a good job of documenting it for us...thanks. (seeing the deer run by was a nice surprise ).
I'm my own worst critic
I assure you..you are doing a great job.Take if from an old teacher who knows what she is talking about. ( now sit up straight , spit our the chewing gum and write 100 times .. I am doing a good job !)
Sad that this park had to close; it is a beautiful setting!! Thanks for showing us this once-special place.
The blue table that you came across is gorgeous! I hope someone is able to bring it to new life!!
If you look on the bright side some of the rides are in Knobels, an operating amusement park. It shows there is still some sort of remembrance!
beautiful woods what were those stacks of lumber? nice one
I believe from an old coaster
crazy, i live walking distance away
Not much left of the amusement park.... kind of creepy. Very interesting.
This would make a great nature park. Its so beautiful and the history behind it!! Loved the remains and buildings!
Ghosts of the Past. Brings a feeling of sadness but must have been a beautiful place to be in its day. Thank you for sharing!
Receipts from 1967. Wow! 😯
Wow this was amazing, I love the 6x6 army truck, that alone is worth saving. I would of love to see what the park would like its hay day.
Someone bought the land now. Glad i explored it when i did.
I bet there would be plenty of furniture to build with all the stacked lumber. I would love to look at the annular rings on the end grain just to see how tight they were.
I was always told this got shut down because people died on the rides or something like that
I wouldn't be surprised if some deaths took place.
Nice pile of wood
Hey jp there a largest swimming pool close in Ligonier pa
It was call Ligonier beach
What a beautiful place to be even now...cannot imagine what it was like back in the day.
Jay I tagged you in decosmos post, didn't know you already did this. Love these old amusement parks, I would love to go into one of these places. Amazed at how all the roller coaster wood (I am guessing that's what that wood was.). Is still perfectly stacked. Stuck in time. An old deuce you can get parts for that anywhere. I bet a little tlc and fuel that thing would fire up. Drove those and the old 700 series 5 tons, never stop those things.
Era gone by...glad some of the attractions were saved, and continue to be used..nice shoot!
a place the people of our future will never get to experience
Thank you for saving real history..generations to come will thank you as well..keep on keepin' on! 😊
I forgot you rarely spoke in the early videos. Looking back I can see how your skills have progressed and you seem more ?comfortable? maybe. I'm not sure that's the best word to use or way to describe, but I think you get the idea 😊. All of your videos are excellent! I like the new direction you're taking with content but enjoy the abandoned places best.
Times have changed over the years. Comfortable is a good word to describe it.
That's what all wooden buildings look like after 30-50 years-just a pile of rotten boards in a cellar hole.
I heard Lilli. 😁
Lol
I can almost smell the funnel cake
How do you find these places?! They're amazing! So much history.
Research and sometimes just by luck.
And all that lumber. Build a friggen house
The military truck is a deuce and a half and would carry (and still do) soldiers in the back. It would have had an OD green canvas cover over the back. Oh, the memories.... :)
The deuce has long since been replaced with the LMTV.
Creepy music and no narrative. Had that Texas chainsaw vibe.
One of my earlier videos where i didnt talk lol
Very nice area with the river next to it... The old truck was also nice! Great video :)
the area is very peaceful and beautiful. the truck was a lucky find.
Yeah, looks relaxed indeed :)
This is so nuts ! Do you ever get creeped out going to these places !! It’s so fun to watch this but sometimes I am watching from behind my hands because I am nervous for you 😂
Well come out exploring with me and you can answer that question for yourself. Followed by fun in a Halloween store and McDonald's! 😁
JPVideos oh my word I think i would be too afraid to! Hahaha
@@MissSara2487 😓😋
JPVideos but we could do another kind of vlog !
@@MissSara2487 check your fb messages, maybe "other folder"
Wonderful explore Jay!!! I enjoyed watching this video but sure wish you were talking!!! I've gotten used to hearing your voice during each video, it makes it seem as if I'm exploring right there with you!!! You have a nice sounding voice!!! I also like you saying what you think each structure was!!! I'm so glad you started talking in your videos, they are much more enjoyable!!! Thank you for sharing Jay!!!
Took me a while to come out of my shell
@@JPVideos81 I understand!!! In Dec 1999 I started working at Waffle House and that's when I came out of my shell!!! I'm glad you came out of your shell!!!
EARTH ANGEL. 😇 This is an interesting old site! Not too much remains.Again, 👍 great music! Metal detector would come in handy here. Now that’s a nice little wrought iron garden chair!!😀 Thanks for sharing!!!🏡💕😍👍👍. PS 🙏🏼 thanks for sharing July 4th fireworks 💥☄️💫!!!😍👍
Thanks for watching
What a beautiful setting. This place must've been stunning in its day. Do you know if there is anything left here since you filmed this? I would LOVE a live stream from here if it's not too far from you. Again, it is such a lovely spot. Do you know where the swimming pool was located? I didn't necessarily see an obvious spot where it had been. I also really miss your voice on this! I hope it's still "there" and that you could do a live stream from this spot. Really cool video, JP!
Unfortunately it has new owners now and is posted & watched.
@@JPVideos81 Ahh, too bad. But I hope the new owners do something amazing with this.
Enjoyed your video but wish you spoke because heavy breathing with abandoned places is not good. Thank you for the video!!
i apologize for the breathing.
@@JPVideos81 Watched it again...I still don't hear heavy breathing.....must be going deaf in my old age. "To breathe or not to breathe ...that is the question " . Better to breathe , I think ( apologies to William Shakespeare.)
😂
My mom and uncles told me as kids they used to sneak into the park with the kids of the family who owned the park, during off season, and push the coaster to the top and ride around the circuit. Until one day the old man caught them. She said my GM and GF gave them whuppings they never forgot.
I used to drive by this place regularly, the main sign still said croops, but I see now it is rusted away.
Has anyone else gone to Knoebels
i have several videos on my page from knoebels and i'll be there this friday.
I have I'm going to knobels on August 1-4th 😎
have a great time
Dang i wish i was in your family so i can have all that fun
Awww, thanks raquel. You're welcome to join me anytime.
JPVideos ....aww i wish, im disabled, my daughter takes care of me, im 70 years young with plenty health issue. I live in New york city, those are the reason i dont go anywhere. BUT I ENJOY YOUR VIDEOS. Thank you so much.
Everything is rusty
Passed by quite often, never wandered around
Cant now, its private property.
@@JPVideos81 good to know. I figured as much.
What year was that military truck? That was really cool to look at!
What did you film this with, a potato?....
Nope, a pear
Another site said the property was used as a saw mill after the park closed. That may have been the reason for all the piled wood and the buildings that looked more recently used.
Thats a good possibility
It was used as a saw mill if I remember correctly into the late 60s or early 70s.
The place does have a strange vibe
No narrative? That made it all the more creepy.
Yeah i didnt talk much in my earlier videos.
I dont even know he was with other people at first! So around 7:37 i was like dude wtf....he isnt gonna say anything about that? I wasnt really paying attention as i was looking at the big piles of wood,so i only seen that person in the corner of my eyes go behind the pile then disappear. O.O
lol, my wife and daughter were with me
I owned this 8 track a looooong time ago... time stamp 12:50. www.discogs.com/Sha-Na-Na-From-The-Streets-Of-New-York/master/425606
By any chance would you consider a revisit? It would be interesting to see how it looks now. Yep, still playing catch up! lol
Its privately owned now and posted.
@@JPVideos81 What a shame, I would have liked to see it again. I understand, though.
Somebody call Knoebels there are piles of wood that used to be a rollercoaster he can put it back together
Dude you put some creepy music in the beginning and it was creepy
i thought the music was a nice touch and fitting to the location, sad and a little creepy.
Well I agree with you
👍🏼❤️✅
Did you find the house that is new to the park
I did film that house, its on my channel around the same time this was posted.
hectic😎
dude can u please give me directions to this place?? me and some friends would like to take pictures!!!
Are you still able to go to this location? I look online for GPS location and could not find the right coordinates.
It has a new owner now and will arrest people for trespassing.
What kind of animal was it that ran by?
You wouldn't happen to know who owns this property now? Where exactly is this located? GPS.
Its privately owned and posted now.

have you ever gotten lost doing this
Not yet, i usually do research on locations i visit so i know what to look for and where to go.
I find your videos spooky and boring when you are non-verbal. This must be an old one, made before you talked to us!
I wasn't comfortable talking on camera a few years ago. A lot has changed since then.
@@JPVideos81 I know and I love it! You're so good at describing what you are showing us!
very cool video , creepy , Peace
thank you, it was fun to check it out and film it.
you need to talk more
THEminecraftingDAD I'm not the greatest speaker so i prefer to have the info i provide and the video itself speak to the viewer.
I can tell the older videos from the newer just by the fact you don't talk in the older ones. I prefer the newer videos where it feels more like you are taking people with you...not just showing things.
I like the newer ones too.
@@JPVideos81 Good! the newer ones are more friendly feeling. :)
Missed the talking
I didnt talk much in my older videos.
Ill take that old Deuce
First
