[Dennis F. Cramer]

West Penn acquired Lenape Park, near Ford City and Griftlo Park near Apollo 
when they took over the 2 separate lines in Armstrong County.

In Jefferson County there were several parks owned by trolley companies:
Edgemont Park outside of DuBois
Jefferson Park outside Harmony
Wishaw Park in Wishaw
Highland Park near Florence
Alahoe Park near Big Run

Indiana County had Chestnut Grove and Idlewood Parks.

These trolley parks still exist
