    1. [CAContraCosta] Peek A Boo Kiddie Park( Corner of San Pablo Dam Rd and San Pablo Ave)
    2. Hello List- I am wondering if anyone besides me rememberers this quaint little childrens Amusement park. It used to be located where the Moose lodge south parking lot now resides. I live in Pittsburg California, I am 51 years old but still recall and have still a mental picture of the park. It had swings that went around. live ponies and a carousal, just to name a few. My grandmother, now deceased, lived in San Pablo( 1967) told me about the parks demise, Theman could nolonger make a profit, apparently vandals had gotten in let the ponies go into the street( and were killed) defaced the equipment ect. I would like to obtain a story about the closure of that little Park, Would anyone know when the property was sold. for redevelopment? would anyone also know if this was a small family run adventure? who ran it? was the years from 1955- say to 1967? Did this little park only havebusines on some Saturdays( weekends)? I only went to this park a few times when I was small. In 1967, when a friend and I went pased the park. I must got a vivid memory picture, for it has stayed in my mind, the stories because of what my grandmother told me, when she was alive. Anyone be able to aide me in researching the article from the Richmond Independent? Thanks inadvance for help and or your personal memory. Melodee( Caves) Slaney melnsam123@aol.com
