History
Sunnyside Amusement Park opened on June 28, 1922 and was developed by the Harbour Commission.[1]
Following several incendiary fires, demolition of the park was ordered in late 1955. The park was fully demolished by March 1956.[1]
Remnants of the park include the Palais Royale dance hall to the east and the bathing pavilion (now known as Sunnyside Pavilion) on the west.[1] Both structures were originally built in 1922.[2][3]
