Nunley�s Amusement Park in Baldwin; New York; was a beloved family destination for Long Islanders from 1939 until it closed in 1995. The park�s most notable attraction was its famed Stein Goldstein carousel. The Nunley family established numerous amusement parks in the Long Island area; such as those found in Bethpage; Rockaway Beach; and Broad Channel. Nunley�s Amusement Park; which was in operation for over 50 years; has a special place in the memories of multiple generations of Long Islanders. After the park closed; the rides and games were sold at auction. In protest; Long Islanders banded together to prevent the carousel from being disassembled and sold off separately. Recognizing the passion residents held for the park; Nassau County stepped in and purchased the beloved carousel; and an elaborate campaign was established for its restoration. The year 2012 marked the 100th anniversary of the famous Nunley�s Carousel; which is currently in operation at Museum Row in Garden City; New York.
