Indianola Park, Amusement park in University District, Columbus, Ohio.
The park included a grand swimming pool, roller coasters, a dance pavilion, carousel, scenic railroad, band shell, restaurant, and athletic playing fields.
Charles Miles and Frederick Ingersoll established this recreational destination in 1905, operating successfully until the economic pressures of the Great Depression forced closure in 1937.
At its peak in the 1910s, the park drew crowds of 10,000 visitors and served as the home field for the Columbus Panhandles professional football team.
The entrance was positioned at North 4th Street and East 19th Avenue, with the grounds extending across 30 acres toward Big Four Street and railroad tracks.
The dance pavilion remained active through winter months and adapted to changing music trends, from early 1900s classical performances to 1920s jazz performances.
