White City, Former amusement park in Shrewsbury, Massachusetts, US.

The entertainment complex extended along Lake Quinsigamond, incorporating water activities and electric-powered attractions across its 18-acre grounds.

The park operated from 1905 to 1960, initially established by businessman Horace H. Bigelow as a trolley park to increase weekend transportation usage.

Musicians performed regularly at the park's ballroom and stage, featuring performances by 1950s entertainers Paul Anka and Jerry Vale.

The park grounds transformed into White City Plaza shopping center after its closure in September 1960, maintaining the location's commercial significance.

The park earned its name from its 50,000 electric lights and white-painted structures, following a design trend from the 1893 Chicago World's Fair.
