Cascade Park, Historical amusement park in New Castle, Pennsylvania, US
The 138-acre park contains natural waterfalls, walking trails, and remnants of former attractions along Big Run Creek in western Pennsylvania.
The New Castle Traction Company transformed the site from Big Run Falls into Cascade Park in 1897, establishing a trolley-accessible entertainment destination.
The Victorian Dance Pavilion, the largest in Pennsylvania, hosted performances by numerous musicians including Paul Whitman and Vaughn Monroe through the decades.
The park provides free admission, multiple picnic shelters, playground equipment, and hosts regular community events throughout the warm months.
The park's former roller coaster, constructed in 1922, utilized the natural gorge terrain for its track layout along the valley edge.
