Crowds numbering to 10,000 on Sundays visited old Winnwood park in rural Clay County, in 1913. Swimming, boating, fishing, dancing, picnic grounds, cottages, roller coaster rides and sideshows were available. The park, with spring-fed lake, was built and developed by Frank Winn, member of a prominent pioneer Clay County family with large land holdings and a pre-Civil war mansion. The boardwalk was copied from Atlantic City, N.J.The Kansas City, Clay County & St. Joe Interurban railway carried visitors to the park as did horse-drawn buggies and motor cars that today would be premium-priced antiques. Four-lane I-35 highway now follows the route of the interurban tacks through the old park. Kansas City Times, August 10, 1968.
