The original main buildings included a small rustic bandstand and a pavilion that served as a stage for vaudeville and theatre productions. A merry go round was put into operation on July 4, 1908. In a 1909 brochure, the pavilion was described as a most handsome structure, and one of the largest to be found in any park in the entire country. Adjoining the pavilion was a newly constructed amphitheater described as a model of excellence. One of the most acoustically perfect buildings of its kind, the amphitheatre offered 1,500 tiered seats on a sloping hillside.
Vaudeville entertainers from as far away as Philadelphia provided free entertainment for the guests.
The 1909 operating season included many other new attractions which included two bowling alleys, a tennis court, a large band shell, and a photography gallery where a first-class photographer provided work of a better kind at reasonable rates. The Scenic Railroad was also completed for this season. It offered guests a relaxing ride through the picturesque area. It is estimated that during its 60 year history the miniature train traveled more than half a million miles. Athletic events were popular attractions.
