Reminds me to my first playground ;-)))
Oh! Why was the park closed?
Oh! I was there. Wow somebody really needs to clean that place up. thanks for the flickr link…that user has other fascinating pics.
Such a shame this place was closed. I explored the old park two years ago, and came out with some great photos. Have a look at my website that showcases photos from Prudhomme’s at:

Cheers to everyone who has the memory of the old wave pool!!
T-Wel
can’t understand why this was never bought up quick….so much call for waterparks….
I play paintball every weekend at Niagara Tactical Adventure Game. Which is part of prudhommes. I used to work at Wet and Wild when i was a teenager. I have visited the old park several time over the past few years. The reason the park actually closed was because freak accidents were happening alot. which is why nothing else has been put there yet. The park closed down overnight because they didn’t want anyone else getting hurt. Alot of rumors still are going around about the place being haunted. And I believe it. Even victoria Hall closed down permantly and it was in perfect condition for an old mansion. If you want more information about Prudhommes. Talk to Tim Smith at niagara Tactical Adventure Game or email me yourself and ask.
Reminds me Silent Hill Amusement park =) It’s really horrible…
My mom and dad lived at the old farmhouse for a few years and my dad worked at the Miniature world. They said it was always creepy when they lived near there.
That was in the early 90′s
Funny stumbling across your own past like this. I did a lot of the construction work for Bob Gibbs at the old haunted house there, lived on the second floor while he and his family occupied the third. I used to walk through the park at night after it was closed and sometimes skated on the roller rink. Nice to see people still remember the place.
Just snapped some pix there. May 8th 2009. There’s not much left of it. The photos posted at least had some of the blue water slide left. All but a couple random pieces are gone. The tube slide however is still there. You can still make out the wave pool but every pool and the bumper boat pool are all filled in. In fact, unless you know where to look, the bumper boat pool has disappeared. Sad to see it go. It’s very over grown . It’s hard to believe that it’s only been gone for 8 or 9 years. It looks like it’s been gone for 20. You can’t even tell the old haunted house was ever there. I saw no trace of it.I saw the beach from the top of the slide. It’s very nice. I wish I owned it!
Hi Ray,
I have fond memories of that house as a kid leaving with the wits scared out of me. I always wondered the history, such as builder, owner, family heritage… Any info and especially pic’s would be wonderful. Thanks!
Was just at Prudhommes Landing last weekend. Got some fresh pics of it. Aside from the foundations from a few buildings, the skating rink and go-kart track all you’ll find is the pumphouse for the wavepool and one water slide with a huge chunk of the mountain missing.
Here’s some recent pics:
