A
The
park
was
the
perfect
site
for
a
family
picnic,
as
all
intoxicating
beverages
were
prohibited
on
garden
grounds.
Families
also
enjoyed
a
variety
low-cost,
entertainment,
a
mere
10
cents
allowed
patrons
access
to
most
everything.
The
park
had
to
offer
dance
tickets
were
just
5
cents,
and
roller
skating
was
an
additional
quarter,
a
dance
floor.
A
stage
for
vaudeville
performances,
concerts
and
amusement
park
rides
were
all
a
part
of
the
daily
entertainment.
A
A
A
After
years
of
popular
watermelon,
eating
contests
pumpkin
pie
days
and
a
corn
roast
the
park
began,
losing
money
and
its
investors
pulled
their
support,
the
gardens
shuttered
in
1913
and
the
land
returned
to
its
previous
owner.
It
was
a
brief,
albeit
exciting,
chapter
in
the
city's
history,
and
it
all
happened
right
here
in
englewood,
colorado,.
