Slater Memorial Park

Slater Memorial Park Review

Within the stately grounds of this park along Ten Mile River are picnic tables, tennis courts, playgrounds, and a river walk. The park's Looff Carousel, built by Charles I.D. Looff in 1894, has 42 horses, three dogs, a lion, a camel, and a giraffe that are the earliest examples of the Danish immigrant's work. The carousel animals don't go up and down, but they move fast. Rides are 25¢.
