Fontaine Ferry Park was opened in 1905 by the Park Circuit and Reality Company after two years of construction following a design produced by John Miller of the Hopkins Amusement Company. Judge George Wilson was soon appointed as the General Manager, and his assistant was John Singhiser, father of Jack who along with his wife Ruby Singhiser operated the park until it closed in 1969.
It reopened in 1972 as Ghost Town on the River, closed again, and opened for a final season as River Glen Park. Lots of the original rides were sold and much of the infrastructure removed.
