Electric Park

Electric Park was a name shared by dozens of amusement parks in the United States that were constructed as trolley parks and owned by electric companies and streetcar companies.^[1] After 1903, the success of Coney Island inspired a proliferation of parks named Luna Park and Electric Park,^{[2][page needed]} while the World's Columbian Exposition of 1893 inspired the formation of White City amusement parks at roughly the same time. The existence of most of these parks was generally brief, roughly 15 years on average, and the bulk of them closed by 1917, the year of the United States' entered World War I. Many of the various parks' pavilions have outlasted the parks themselves, with some still standing today.
