Electric Park-Tulsa, Oklahoma...more info needed...

It appears the 'Top of Oklahoma Museum' resides now in the former Electric Park Pavilion....(or where there 2 Electric Parks ?)

In west Tulsa the Electric Amusement Park had opened by 1921 featuring a dance hall, rides, concessions, swimming, and a memorable miniature train.

The area was first used by the Park Addition Company to operate a dance hall, concessions, boat rides, and other entertainments along this important road in Tulsa. Two business men purchased the park and leased the land from the Park Addition Company, changing the name to the Electric Amusement Park Company.

By 1921, the Electric Amusement Park Company consisted of a dance hall, a merry go round, several swings, boating and swimming, a fun house, and the only miniature train in Oklahoma, enclosed in an ornamental fence with arched entrances and a large advertising sign consisting of 17 50-foot panels.

The park ran successfully until late 1925 when it ran into financial difficulties and the owners signed over their shares to the First National Bank of Sapulpa. Between 1927 and 1928, the park closed for a while as ownership changed again and park operations could resume.
