Lexington’s Joyland amusement park was in northeast Fayette County off North Broadway. This photo was taken in August 1948 during a picnic and square dance contest sponsored by the Kentucky Press Association. It was considered the “best-known park in the Bluegrass,” with two roller coasters: the Wildcat and the Kiddie Coaster. The park closed in August 1964 and was torn down in 1965, eventually replaced by the Joyland neighborhood.
