There is a sign over the drive but it is very hard to make out. Perhaps, "Geauga Park".

Isn't this Oceana Park on Music Street?

This photo is of Oceana Park. We bought this property 25 years ago. It is amazing to see what it looked like when it was operational. We have uncovered some relics from the past which we have kept. Would love any additional photos or historic accounts from those who enjoyed the park.

My buddy and I snuck into there in the late 80s. He found some season passes and framed them. I remember going there as a kid.

I lived down the street from Oceana and my family helped in many ways to get the park operational. I have a brochure of the Park.

Do you still live in the area? Would be great to see the brochure?

Yes I do. Abd you?

The wave pool and what seemed like olympic size pools were awesome. There were swimming lessons held there. We enjoyed our season passes in the summertime.

I went there many times as a kid. It was fun and weird at the same time.

Oceans Park built by Hungarian immigrant Tibor Bori. He was a professional soccer player in Hungary. The Lengel family were close friends. Marge ran the snack bar. Jim, John & Joe were lifeguards. Great place to grow up. Employed many local teenagers. All had fun working together. Newbury had it all! Oceans Park, Sports Haven, Skips, Ramble Inn & Prots. Those were the days! Wave pool, dive pool, Olympic pool, kiddie pool, pavilions, picnic tables, changing rooms & snack bar

Oh, and don't forget! Great football teams. Go! Newbury Black Knights & coach George Cervanka!
