Description
This circa 1905 postcard shows Oak Park and Joyland's signature entrance arch, located at Thirty-Fifth Street and Fifth Avenue, the latter originally known as Park Avenue. The arch was erected in 1903 by the California Gas and Electric Company, which also added franchise food, game and ride concessions to an already robust pleasure spot. By 1911, the area and its 7,000 residents had been officially annexed by the City of Sacramento.
