There was another Amusement Park too..Olympic Park...I think it was in Union County
We used to take a Sunday drive from Jersey City out to the country lol which was Linden, yup back then coming from JC, Linden was the country..and stop at some place called I believe Lamberts for ice cream
We would also go to some park in Roselle or Roselle Park where you could canoe in the lake...I can't recall the actual spelling of the park but it sounded like Woranki or something like that

It is? It must have been reopened. I read a Colonia High School year book about 3 years ago and there was a page on the most missed Colonia past times. Wittys was listed.

Are you positive it is there in the same place?
