Luna Park was where Roxbury Park (Band Shell et all) is today. It was owned
by the Johnstown Passenger Railway/Johnstown Traction Co. They had a race
track, park, rides etc. In those days trolley companies owned amusement
parks to give people a reason to ride the system on Sundays and holidays.
Kennywood and Lakemont Park are survivors of those days.
