Indianola Park was a trolley park that operated in Columbus, Ohio's University District from 1905 to 1937.[2] The amusement park was created by Charles Miles and Frederick Ingersoll,[3] and peaked in popularity in the 1910s, entertaining crowds of up to 10,000 with the numerous roller coasters and rides, with up to 5,000 in the massive pool alone.[4] The park was also the home field for the Columbus Panhandles for half of a decade.[4][5] In the 1920s, new owners bought and remodeled the park, and it did well until it closed at the end of the Great Depression.[6]
Currently, the land, which extends from 18th Avenue to Norwich Avenue and 4th Street to Big Four Street, is occupied by the former Indianola Junior High School and the Indianola Shopping Center, which is owned by Xenos Christian Fellowship, and includes Suzi-Cue Pool Hall, Soussy Market, 4th Street Studio, and King's Pizza.[7][8]
