Freedomland USA News Update...!
A Commemoration ceremony for the unique Bronx
theme park, Freedomland USA, was held at its previous location on Saturday, August

ticket booth entrance, as may be seen in the 3rd photo below.
Remembering Freedomland USA, Now Co-Op City In The Bronx, New York
Former Freedomland performer, Ben Rossi, was on hand for the Commemoration
Of all the many theme
parks with which I have been associated, including the remarkable Walt
Disney World, none has left me with nostalgic recollections as vivid or
memorable as those of Freedomland USA. The magnificent park was a
sprawling and beautifully-themed entertainment complex that unabashedly
celebrated America, and her rich heritage. It is to that treasured
heritage, and especially to the courageous men and women who through the
years have continued to preserve it, that this page is happily and
proudly dedicated."
