Before it was an amusement park, the grounds were used for picnics dating back to the 1840's. The park's first owner was Edward Andrews, and the park was called Andrew's Pleasure Grounds. The park was used for picnics, dancing, holiday fireworks, and so forth.In the 1880's, the first roller coaster was put in. A steamboat was also added. But many of the guests were unhappy with the amount of alcohol being consumed at the park. Then in the early 1900's when Mac Beach took over, he outlawed whiskey on the grounds. He added the first carousel, and made many changes that got the park looking good. The park closed in 1978, a full 100 years after it opened, because the park wansn't making enough money to still operate. Most of the rides are still there, but they're all engulfed in the wildlife around it. Some of the buildings have collapsed, others destroyed by fire.  Media Coverage  Future Plans Mostly demolished in order to develop the property but plans eventually fell through. It's now overgrown again.  Stories Add your own story  Photo Galleries Ohio Urbanites - May trip Fri, May 5th, 2006 posted by YellowSnow 13 pictures Last Chance to Dance Fri, Nov 6th, 2009 posted by splumer 8 pictures Practically Gone Sat, Sep 29th, 2012 posted by Dayman 22 pictures Chippewa Lake Park 12/2015 Tue, Dec 22nd, 2015 posted by KD20 25 pictures Add your own photos Mark all galleries as Seen  Web Links http://www.ohiourb...om/urbex/chip.html  Contribute Edit this Location  Moderator Rating The moderator rating is a neutral rating of the content quality, photography, and coolness of this location.
