Boy they sure did make Belmont Park look pretty for the show.. When I went there from 67 to 72 it never looked like that! (ok maybe it did and I'm so old all my memories are in black and white...lol)
The final years it looked better than it ever did. The city made the owner Bill Evans put lawns, planters and in 1976 everything was painted red, white, and blue, and the roller coaster was given a new name "Earthquake". But for all the money he put in to make the park looking nice, he didn't pay his rent and the city shut it down after he owed them $100,000.
The old tan uniforms. I wonder how sdpd had a free unit to drive this guy around. It takes sdpd over 30 minutes to be dispatched to violent calls. They have no officers thanks to the mayor and city council
Thank you for the post.

They did a lot of close shots... easy way to hid stuff!

Belmar park used to be so much fun as a child Good to it .
The admission price I see painted on the ticket booth - .60 for adults and .35 cents for kids, includes one free ride and admission to the Plunge.
The rides look more fun at that time.
A regular carnival!
I used to ride my Schwinn Stingray to Belmont Park from 2245 Felspar St (71-73). It was a seedy hippie hangout back then!
yep.. hey.. what's that smell?lol...
Gonna have to invest in the DVDs so I can make this and more better quality.
