Description
This small granite TR area faces north and is hidden from view behind some trees. There are 5 anchors and 6 basic routes. Routes can be set from the top by approaching from the right. There are a couple of single bolts back from the edge for setting safety. The area is named for an old theme park which was once located a bit north of the crag on old Route 66.

Getting There
There are two parking options and approach trails. Both approach trails are documented on the Mountain Project map.
OPTION 1: GPS Coordinates: 35.065196, -106.486809
Park along the road on Route 66 just east of Carmellia Dr and west of the RoofCare building. From the parking lot, hike across the empty lot and connect to the trail at the southwest end of the lot. You’re headed towards the dead tree at the right end of the empty lot that you can see from the parking. Follow the trail down (south) towards the trees and arroyo. You’ll eventually see the top of the cliff in front of you below the power lines. As you near the last downhill section, follow the trail as it traverses left into the arroyo. Then turn right and follow the arroyo a short distance to a fence. Just before the fence turn left on a path that leads into the trees and follow it to the base of the cliff.
OPTION 2: GPS Coordinates: 35.062543, -106.481576
Park at the large turnout on Rt. 66 about 1 mile east of Tramway Blvd and Central Ave. The parking is just past the American Society of Radiologic Technologists building on the right if driving eastbound. From the parking lot, hike downhill into the arroyo, turn right at a fence and enter the Albuquerque Open Space. Walk west down the arroyo keeping mostly on the north side trails for roughly a half mile. Look for power lines on the hill to your left above the cliff. You'll come to a fence crossing the arroyo just before the houses, turn left on a path into the trees just before the fence and follow it to the cliff.
