Description
Nunley's Amusement Park was a cherished destination for families in Baldwin, New York, from 1939 until its closure in 1995. At its heart was the iconic Stein and Goldstein carousel, which remains an enduring symbol of Long Island's rich amusement park heritage. The Nunley family built a legacy of entertainment on Long Island, with parks in Bethpage, Rockaway Beach, and Broad Channel. When Nunley's Amusement Park closed, the rides and games were sold at auction, prompting a community outcry. In response, Nassau County intervened to purchase the beloved carousel, ensuring its restoration through an extensive campaign. Today, the restored 100-year-old carousel is on display at Museum Row in Garden City, New York, serving as a poignant reminder of the park's enduring appeal.
