Marshal Scotty's Playland Park, Amusement park in El Cajon, California, US.
Marshal Scotty's Playland Park is a fenced-off, mostly abandoned amusement park in El Cajon, California. Its rides, including a railroad, a 20 ft (6.1 m) Ferris wheel, a water slide, a small roller coaster and a tilt-a-whirl, stand among overgrown vegetation and can still be seen from the road.
