Luna Park, Arlington, Early 1900s amusement park in Arlington, United States.

The 34-acre park contained multiple attractions including a figure-eight roller coaster, a shoot-the-chutes ride, and a circus arena near Jefferson Davis Highway.

Frederick Ingersoll constructed Luna Park in 1906 as a trolley park, operating until 1915 when a fire destroyed its signature roller coaster structure.

The park buildings displayed various architectural styles, including Japanese, Moorish, and Gothic designs, while hosting performances in the Hindu Theatre.

The entertainment complex included restaurants and picnic facilities that could accommodate up to 3000 visitors at once.

During construction, workers discovered underground rooms, including a library, which added mystery to the park's development.
