Review:
The Recreation Park Carousel, also known as the George F. Johnson Recreation Park Carousel, is a beautifully preserved historic carousel in the George F. Johnson Recreation Park. Installed in 1925 along with the pavilion on which it is based, the carousel is housed in a single-story, a 16-sided wooden pavilion that is topped with a cupola. The carousel features 60 ‘jumping’ horses, four-abreast, two chariots, and an original Wurlitzer Military Band Organ with bells and is listed as a National Historic Landmark. The carousel and pavilion are surrounded by an array of park facilities, including bandshell concerts, playgrounds and ballfields, swimming pools and a bathhouse, tennis courts, a reflective pond, and a statue of George F. Johnson.
