showing
the
swimming
pool
at
Indianola
Park
,
Columbus
,
Ohio
, ca.
1910-1915
.
Indianola
Park
was a
30-acre
amusement
park
operated
in
Columbus’s
University
District
at
N
.
4th
Street
and
E
.
19th
Avenue
.
It
opened
to the
public
on

,
1905
, and
early
visitors
could
enjoy
a
large
swimming
pool
, a
dance
pavilion
, a
roller
coaster
, a
restaurant
and
picnic
grounds
, and
more
. A
vaudeville-style
theater
was
added
in
1908
,
soon
to be
followed
by
more
roller
coasters
, a
funhouse
, and a
“Shoot
the
Shutes”
water
ride
. The
park
was also
home
to the
Columbus
Panhandles
pro
football
team
,
serving
as their
home
field
between
1909
and
1915
.
During
the
1910s
and
early
20s
,
Indianola
hosted
as
many
as
10,000
visitors
in a
single
weekend
, and
could
see
up
to
5,000
people
enjoying
its
pool
on
hot
summer
days
. But in the
wake
of the
Great
Depression
and
other
cultural
shifts
, the
park
eventually
shut
down
in
1937
.
