| 释义 |
The chief attraction of the park was its lake access. A small steam launch, the Comanche, offered 30-minute lake excursions. A number of rowboats and canoes were available for rent, and there were facilities for swimming. On shore the park offered a dance pavilion {{convert|40 by 80|ft|m}}[3][4] The park had a carousel, which is now located in Congress Park in Saratoga Springs, by way of Kaydeross Park.[5] There was also a toboggan slide and a baseball diamond.[1] The park provided entertainment including a dance band for the pavilion,[3] and hosted clambakes and picnics, often with fireworks after dark. A special trolley run, The Moonlight Special, brought people for dancing.[4] In addition to entertainment the park provided an area of lakefront, {{convert|100 by 150|ft|m}} as of 1908, which was subdivided into small lots and leased to individuals who could then construct a cottage on it. The lessee paid an annual rent for the property but remained owner of any building.[3] By 1927 when the park closed there were 113 lessees.[2] When the park closed it was listed as containing "an inn containing 10 or 12 rooms, a dance pavilion, a dining hall, ice cream parlor, log cabin, shooting gallery, restaurant and restaurant storehouse, boat house, ice house, pump house, dock, and on the east shore of the lake “the castle”."[2] References1. ^1 {{cite news|last1=Starr|first1=Timothy|title=History Lesson: Trolley line was vital to Ballston Spa area commuters|accessdate=April 14, 2016|work=Saratogian|date=March 4, 2012|url=http://www.saratogian.com/article/ST/20120304/NEWS/303049992}} 2. ^1 2 {{cite news|title=Railway wants to sell Forest Park lands to Ballston Lake campers|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=l3lGAAAAIBAJ&sjid=JukMAAAAIBAJ&pg=4751%2C3781422|accessdate=April 14, 2016|work=Schenectady Gazette|date=Aug 6, 1927}} 3. ^1 2 3 {{cite journal|title=Forest Park on the line of the Schenectady Railway Company|journal=The Street Railway Journal|date=February 29, 1908|volume=XXXI|issue=9|page=314|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=K31CAQAAMAAJ&pg=PA314&dq=%22forest+park%22+ballston&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwilzuC5ro_MAhUElx4KHWylBhgQ6AEIIjAB#v=onepage&q=%22forest%20park%22%20ballston&f=false}} 4. ^1 {{cite book|last1=Briaddy|first1=Katherine Q.|title=Around Ballston Lake|date=2004|publisher=Arcadia Publishing|isbn=9781133960867|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=viGF6NieT4AC&printsec=frontcover&source=gbs_ge_summary_r&cad=0#v=onepage&q&f=false}} 5. ^{{cite web|last1=Reynolds|first1=Rick|title=Forest Park An Amusement Park on Ballston Lake?|url=http://ballstonlake.mylaketown.com/uploads/tinymce/ballstonlake/Past%20and%20present%20stories.pdf|accessdate=April 14, 2016}} External links
