context_page_description: Lincoln Park was a noted amusement park in New Orleans, Louisiana from 1902 to 1930. It was located in the Gert Town section of the city on the downtown side of Carrollton Avenue between Olive and Forshay Streets. It was devoted to amusements for the city's African American population. Early jazz musicians such as Buddy Bolden, Bunk Johnson, Freddie Keppard were heard here. John Robichaux's Orchestra was a regular feature. The park also had a skating rink, and featured hot-air balloon ascensions on weekends.
