Dodge Park Playland, Former amusement park in Council Bluffs, Iowa.
The park occupied 60 acres of land on the north side of the Iowa approach to the Ak-Sar-Ben Bridge, featuring various rides and attractions.
Brothers Abe and Louis Slusky established Dodge Park Playland in 1948 on the site of a former dog racing track that operated until 1943.
The park represented mid-20th century American entertainment preferences, providing families with roller coasters, food stands, and carnival games until 1970.
The construction of Interstate 480 in 1964 reduced the park's area to 20 acres, leading to operational changes and ride relocations.
Following its closure, the rides from Dodge Park Playland were transferred to Frontier City in Oklahoma City, while the location became public parkland.
