Ponce de Leon amusement park, Entertainment complex in Atlanta, Georgia, United States.
The amusement park contained multiple attractions including rides, a dance hall, a theater, and a natural mineral spring on Ponce de Leon Avenue.
Opening in 1903, the park attracted thousands of visitors and operated until the early 1920s before being demolished to make way for commercial development.
The park enforced racial segregation policies common in the early 20th century South, permitting African Americans only as service workers for white guests.
A streetcar line connected downtown Atlanta directly to the park, making it accessible for residents and tourists seeking entertainment during summer months.
The property incorporated a natural mineral spring that locals believed provided health benefits, leading to its association with the Fountain of Youth legend.
