Pontchartrain Beach, Amusement park on Lake Pontchartrain, New Orleans, United States.
The waterfront entertainment complex extended along Lake Pontchartrain's shoreline with numerous rides, swimming areas, and recreational facilities for visitors.
Operating from 1928 to 1983, the park relocated from Bayou St. John to Elysian Fields Avenue, becoming a major recreational destination in Louisiana.
The park initially maintained segregation policies and operated parallel to Lincoln Beach, which served African-American communities a few miles along the shore.
The wooden roller coaster Zephyr, swimming pools, carnival games, and water activities provided entertainment options for different age groups throughout summer seasons.
Sections of the park served as filming locations for Elvis Presley's movie 'Blue Hawaii' due to its waterfront setting and tropical appearances.
