Conneaut Lake Park opening delayed

CONNEAUT LAKE, Pa. — Financially troubled Conneaut Lake Park will not open this weekend, as it had planned. It is targeting the last week in June for its opening, said George Deshner, director of operations. The park had mounted a token campaign last month to raise money, and is also seeking donations from area businesses, said Deshner. It needed to raise $300,000 to open.

The park is about $2 million in debt.

The $5 tokens can be redeemed for a Ride-A-Rama all-day ride pass at the park on any operating weekday (Saturdays and Sundays are excluded; the park is closed Mondays and Tuesdays). Because weekday Ride-A-Rama passes are $13.95 ($8.95 for those under 46 inches tall), the tokens represent a savings of between $8.95 and $3.95. To order the tokens, call the park at (814) 382-5115, Ext. 104.
