West View Park closed after the 1977 season, its 71st, citing declining revenue, higher operating costs and a lack of investment. It had opened in 1906 and was run by the T.M. Harton Company; its roller coasters included the Dips and the Racing Whippet. The site was later cleared, and a shopping center and residential facility opened there in 1981.
