White Swan Park
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
White Swan Park is a small amusement park in Coraopolis, PA that operated from 1955-1989. It was located on PA 60 (Parkway West) at McClaren Rd., just 1 1/2 miles south of the old Greater Pittsburgh International Airport. A one-midway park, the entranceway consisted of a pavillion of midway games which separated the main park to its left from the Kiddieland area on its right. The park also included a Skee-Ball building and miniature golf course.
With construction of the new Pittsburgh International Airport underway in the late 80's, a new highway was needed for access. After the park's 1989 season, Pennsylvania Department of Transportation bought the park. Dismantling of the park began the following year. The last item from the park to be removed was the Giant Slide.
