A streetcar company built a picnic ground at the end of its line in 1903 to give people a reason to ride on Sundays, and unlike almost every other trolley park in America it never closed. The wooden Big Dipper still runs. There is a prehistoric Adena burial mound inside the fence, a few steps from the kiddie rides.
