It’s not just about the carousel and the park . It’s the whole journey over. It’s a great place to look back onto the city and reflect on what it means/takes to be living in NYC.

In 2009 Jane had agreed to donate her restored carousel , along with a pavilion and $3.45 million toward landscaping to the Brooklyn Bridge Park . WOW what an awesome lady!! Idora Park lives on!!

Formerly at Idora Park near Canfield Road , Youngstown, Ohio. It took roughly 20 years to restore this carousel by hand! Don't miss taking a ride on this beautifully restored piece of American history.

Even the most seasoned Manhattan Bridge commuters will vouch for its awe-factor. The oversized carnival ride doubles as a feel-like-a-kid-again landmark and a truly unique Brooklyn draw.
