The sight of the BOB-LO ISLAND Amusement Park always filled young visitors
with eager anticipation. Soon they'd be enjoying the rides, beautiful
landscaping, and great food at Detroit's favorite summertime
playground--Canada's Bob-Lo Island. Bob-Lo still lives in the memory
of those who miss the thrills! |

This page lists and displays photos of the rides and attractions
that were featured on the Island from 1898 through 1993. Additional
images will be posted as they become available. Send any photos or postcards
of the park, its rides, buildings or attractions and I will post them on the
site for everyone to enjoy. Send images as an e-mail
attachment to
mrlee@mrleeonline.com
. Enjoy your visit and remain
seated until the ride comes to a complete stop. |
