Grimsby Park - The Amusement ParkIn 1910, the property was sold to Mr. H. H. Wylie, a newspaperman and advertising executive from Cleveland Ohio, who transformed Grimsby Park into an amusement park. The old morals and rules of the Methodist Church ceased. To update the area, Wylie took down the high fence around the park and added a midway. The midway included a fish pond (where you could win prizes such as milk pitchers and butter dishes), an ice cream stand, a shooting gallery, two merry-go-rounds and an 'Electric Lady' who gave people a shock with her magic wand. Souvenirs and postcards of Grimsby Park were available for purchase. A dance hall and miniature train were added and, according to a 1933 Grimsby Beach Weekly, the first wooden figure-eight roller coaster in Canada was built. The Temple was now used for concerts, magic lantern shows, plays and other suitable types of entertainment. On May 18, 1910, Albert Moore opened a theatre in Grimsby Park and began showing motion pictures. It cost 5 cents to see a one-hour show. Grimsby Park had a motion picture theatre before one opened in Grimsby. Later, Moore also established the first motion picture theatre in Grimsby. The changes made seemed to attract larger crowds to the Park.George Fair, brother-in-law of H. H. Wylie, was hired as park superintendent and was responsible for the upkeep of the park and maintaining order. George Fair and his family lived in the caretaker's cottage year-round. His home was located on the corner of Grand Avenue and Phelps Avenue.
