C. W. Parker Carousel, Historic wooden carousel in Burnaby Village Museum, Canada.
The C. W. Parker Carousel features 41 hand-carved wooden horses mounted on a mechanical platform that rotates in the Don Wrigley Pavilion.
Built in 1912 in Leavenworth, Kansas, this carousel toured with the Lone Star Circus in Texas before moving to Vancouver's Happyland amusement park in 1936.
Local residents formed the Friends of the Vancouver Carousel Society in 1989 to prevent the individual auction of carousel horses and preserve this entertainment heritage.
The carousel operates daily at the Burnaby Village Museum, offering rides to visitors of all ages in a dedicated indoor pavilion near the museum entrance.
Each of the 41 horses received individual sponsorship during the restoration process, with donors' names permanently associated with their chosen carousel figure.
