West View Park, Amusement park in West View, Pennsylvania, United States.
West View Park operated along a trolley line terminus, featuring two carousels, multiple roller coasters, and a five-acre lake for boat rides.
Theodore Marshall Harton founded the park in 1906 after working on the Ferris wheel at the World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago.
The park's Danceland venue hosted numerous performances throughout the years, including a notable concert by The Rolling Stones in 1964.
The park operated from May through September, serving as a primary destination for school picnics and family outings in western Pennsylvania.
The property now functions as West View Park Shopping Center, with a carousel horse sign acknowledging the former amusement park's location.
