Springlake Amusement Park
Springlake Amusement Park was an amusement park in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. It was originally established in 1922 (some sources say 1924) by Roy Staton about six years after his spring-fed pond at NE 40th and Eastern (now Martin Luther King Blvd) had been open to swimmers and picnickers. Staton expanded the park with the addition of many rides acquired from the defunct Belle Isle Park and construction of a ballroom.
In 1929 he added the Big Dipper roller coaster, which would be a fixture in the park for the next 50 years. Admission was free and the rides and pool were pay-as-you-go, so visitors could picnic by the lake at no cost until the 1960s when pay one price came into being.
