My dad passed away two years ago. He is the gentleman working the swings. Was awesome to hear his voice again. Thanks for this. 🖤

Thank you for this video. We used to go on our school trips here in the 1970s. Such wonderful, nostalgic memories. They had a lovely place to picnic

Who would have thought that such a trivial little video like this would strike memories for so many of us? We went on annual company picnics for Sealtest Dairies, our dad (there were eventually 9 of us, but probably at least 6 of us share these memories) was a milkman. We always looked forward to it. And how fun to open the video with music from the Mummers. Only us who grew up in the Philly area would get that significance. What a great little family park to rent out to groups. Thank you for posting this, where in the world did you get it??

Good old 80s fun. For those of us from Philly, going to Lansdale seemed like such a hike lol those days were so special. Makes me sad to think that many of the people in this video, who were so full of life, might not be around anymore 😢

Gosh! I miss this place so much!!! Thank you so much for the wonderful memories brought back to life from 30+ years ago!!! ❤

My dad's company picnic was there in the mid-late 1960s. Always had a blast! I loved the Jumper Roller Coaster!

Those were the ol' days of Lansdale. I'm trying to look for my 5-year-old self anywhere in this video!

I was there in 1981. Rode a lot of rides. Only had one wooden roller coaster.

When I was little back in the 1960s I went to this park several times with my parents, brothers, and several cousins. Since it's gone now this video is about all we have of the place … except for memories.

What a walk down memory lane!

Thanks for posting this. It brought back many childhood memories. My last memory of the park was my 1980 visit with my 3-year old son (from New York where we lived at the time). They still had Dollar Night on Friday night, and he went on all the kiddie rides. So great to look back!

We Used To Go To ‘West Point Park’ Every Summer.❤️

Thanks for posting the video of this park. Many times we went there for my uncles company picnic at Honeywell as well as mydads VFW post picnic I loved the Jumper roller coaster and the Whip Great park with great food

I went with my aunt in the 80's and rode the big white roller coaster. . Had so much fun that day

It’s more like North Wales, PA where it was located. My uncle’s company, Franklin Smelting, had their picnics there. I won 2 goldfish there. They were named Goldie and Tabor.

The good ole days! I miss the park so much 😢

Went with my family to my father's company picnics - Philco - in the 60's. Vivid memory of my first 'action' ride, the Wild Mouse sitting in the car between my Dad's knees holding on for dear life! Enjoyed it there, a really nice family day!

Wow so many great memories! My sisters & I spent every weekend there, thank you for bringing the memories that were forgotten over time back! The salt & pepper ride and the whip were favorites !

Yes but it's not west point p.a.! It's Lansdale p.a.! Two different places! But I also loved this park! Went there every year in the 60'S and 70's for my father's railroad picnics. Thanks for the memories and wonderful video

I was there in 1981. My cousins were about less than 1/2 mile away from the park.

It's strange that out of all of the years this place was around their is only like 2 films on west point park and this is the best longer version ❤

What a gem!!! We went every year as a school trip. The first time I went was in 1975 and I was in kindergarten and rode the rollercoaster for the first time. Wonderful memories!! We went from 1975 until 1982-83. I remember all the gold fish they had.

My cousin's first husband used to work at West Point Park sometime in the mid-1950s. I have some vague memories of the place from back then.

The only thing missing is the smell of the railroad ties. I used to walk there every Friday & Saturday

This is pure gold! Only (minor) complaint is that you didn't go on the roller coaster, I wanted to hear those chains clinking again. Loved that Space Spin ride. Wish there were more of these vids around.

I love these types of videos

Wow. I remember the park so well. As a child we would go there with LuLu Temple Shrine Club. they would rent the place out for the day. Thanks so much for posting this. I need to look. I may have a little digitized Super8 footage of the park.

Thanks for posting. Great memories.

I went there a few times in boy scouts in the early 1980s. I was probably 11 or 12. I barely remember it, lol. thanks for posting, this is cool stuff.

I'm disappointed that there was very little footage of the roller coaster! That was my very first roller coaster ride way back when I was around 6-years-old, in the very early 1970's! I'm hoping there is a video of that coaster floating around out there somewhere, that will eventually find its way to KZfaq.

we went every year in school,great times.

There used to always be throw-up in the salt & pepper shakers. I remember going to this park in the early 90’s. Not sure why it says the park closed in ‘88?

Went there in the 70s....simpler times.

Awesome flashback footage! Glad you shared that with us! :) I was hoping for a shot of the wild mouse ride. If I'm correct that was the ride that was next to or actually ran into the pond. I still remember looking out over the edge of the coaster, cause I was prob. 7 years old , and being scared out of my wits cause the wild mouse would whip you and buck around and I could see huge goldfish in the water. Thanks again for the memories Darkinthepark!

We were pretty poor growing up but went almost every week for $1 Friday nights!

Just to think that the baby in that carriage is 30 years old in 2018.

It was owned by members of my family.

Would you happen to have any other videos of WPP? I think my mother is pictured towards the end of this video, but it's hard to tell and I'd love to view some more videos of WPP to see if I can see her. After being a stay-at-home mom and raising 6 children, the job at the ticket window at WPP made her very happy.

Was there a baseball field nearby? I recall playing ball there on a school trip early-mid 80s.

almost twice a month if not at the park it was the Route 309 drive in movie theatermlm

Iron Maiden. Nice!

And all that remains is the pond.

Where is the pond today?
