Sadly it appears Cinemark used an option on thier lease to vacate. It will not be reopening under their management.

College Plaza Shopping Center in June 1972. It appears the plaza sign doubled as a marquee. The cinema is on the far right, which matches an aerial photo.

DavidZornig commented about Park Theatre on Feb 2, 2021 at 6:03 pm

I ran across a Facebrook group called Red Arrow Lines dedicated to the street car system in Upper Darby. Multiple comments by locals refer to the Park Theatre building as still standing at 8000 West Chester Pike on the corner. If you do a Google Street View search you can see the building has an abnormally long back section that appears to have been the auditorium. The peak to the right of the marquee in the Overview photo matches up with the current street view as well. The white house in the background of the same photo is two doors down from the Park Theatre, and is also still standing. The day care center is in between the two, and sits further forward on it’s lot than the other two. The former Park Theatre had apparently been a public storage facility at one time after it’s closure. It has a Masons symbol corner stone dated 1922 on the facade. So it may have originally been a Masons Lodge. Cash In My Bag an online consignment company is the current tenant. I have reached out to them on their own Facebook page to confirm whether their building is the former Park Theatre or not. Here is a link to the Red Arrow Lines Facebook thread with photos in the comments, which is from 5-6 years ago.
