This 1900s Denzel Menagerie at castle park was originally found among the first rides in the Historic Knott’s Berry Farm Lagoon, this carousel has been at castle park in Riverside since the 1980s. The carousel has now been serviced by western train co. who performed extensive repairs to the mechanism and is in the process of providing a new coat of paint to the animal figures. Watch the video ….. Possible proposals shared by the city of Lakeland show a park full of color, textures, public art displays, and recreational opportunities, including giant chess sets, bocce, pod swings, and cornhole, wouldn’t a carousel look nice and be a great centerpiece for Munn Park and the city.

Yes please!
I think it’s perfect. And dreamy. Lakeland is progressive and growing but there’s still a small town charm to it that should be preserved. This would be a beautiful addition to the down town area.
I’ve written about the potential for this project at length where this article was reposted in the We Live In Lakeland & I Have Questions Facebook page. A carousel is a great idea for Lakeland, but not at Munn Park. Munn Park is our traditional town square, not a playground. I have a family and business connection to this project and intend to make it happen, but not there. ?
A carousel is my favorite idea for Munn Park that I have heard to date. It maintains the charm of downtown without marring it with more modern design. I am a Lakeland native and have been disappointed in the development styles that have been approved by the city for downtown in the last few years. A carousel would be an improvement.
That would be such a wonderful idea
What is the cost of a carousel? Terribly expensive. How much to budget for maintenance? Protection from vandalism? An operator? Free rides or charge? How much. Good idea but not practical.
