Abandoned Americana Amusement Park Photos 2018 LeSourdesville Lake In Monroe Ohio

Gaining Access To Americana

On a hot sunny day in May 2018, I was granted legal access to photograph what remains of the abandoned Americana Amusement Park / LeSourdesville Lake in Monroe, Ohio.  The property is soon to become Monroe Bicentennial Commons!  Many buildings remain on this river-side property, and they were great to photograph.

This was an amazing day for me!  There were old bumper cards, chair lifts, swimming pools, and more.  The site of the old rollercoaster was empty except for the queue building.  One of the coolest spots was the original entrance and admin building.

Future Plans For The Abandoned Americana Amusement Park

The City of Monroe plans to tear down some buildings, leave others, and reuse benches, walkways, trash cans, picnic tables, and more as part of their plans for future green space for the community.  I want to thank the City of Monroe for this opportunity.  I have waited patiently for many years to get this opportunity.  It was more exciting than I could have imagined! I never thought I would get to photograph an abandoned amusement park. I am a Dayton Ohio based travel photographer.
