Vintage Photos of Geauga Lake, The Cleveland Amusement Park That Will Soon Become a Suburban Development

We miss Geauga Lake Park just as much as you do. Unfortunately, the days of The Big Dipper and The Corkscrew are behind us. The park, which was originally opened in Aurora in 1887, will s0on become a Pulte Homes development of 306 houses. The park closed in 2007.
