Shortly after the park closed the bandstand was converted into a garage. Later they became a permanent part of the store decor, disappearing again when Harvey's closed. It should be noted that while Harvey's had a full-size carousel in its Monkey Bar restaurant it was not the Flying Jenny from Glendale Park. The zoo animals were dispersed to various locations when the park closed and it would be the 1990's until a zoo once again became a part of Nashville. In 1978 the entrance steps were in the backyard of one of the homes on the site, the foundations of the water tower were still visible in the backyard of another home, and still another home is said to have been built over the cave where the bears lived.
Homes now occupy most of the site.
