This was the only Kiddieland that was operating in Orange County it ran by the name of Gram paw Mack’s their location was Garden Grove Blvd and Belfast Ave. it sat on a dirt lot in a shopping center and took up an acre of land. This was the only operating Kiddieland in Orange County. This Kiddieland was open from the middle 1950s and closed in the early 1970’s.
Well, after seeing this image in your book a while back, I told myself I was going to drive by the area, but I forgot. This post reminded me to do that and I drove by it yesterday. Most, if not all of those larger buildings in the back of the center are still there! The parking lot behind those buildings now has apartments built on it. It was hard to tell if the two buildings surrounding the kiddieland are the same or if new ones have been built...it looked different. Wish the kiddieland park was still there!
