1. Joyland Beach and Bathing Beauties Marker

Inscription. #1. The Joyland Beach Pier and Dance Hall located near the beach on the lakeshore at Ohio Avenue provided a place for relaxation and entertainment for the growing town. It had replaced the original boat and bathhouse that was built in 1911 after it had been destroyed by fire and then again in April 1923. A new Bathing Pavilion was quickly built and opened two months later. In July 1935, flames consumed the Bathing Pavilion and all of its contents once again.
