Approximate address is 1596 Grand Lake Rd, Sydney, NS B1M 1A1, Canada. A self-storage business is on part of the site, some very faint remains of the ramps can be seen and on some older aerial images the foundation of the concession building can be seen.
The 1959 Motion Picture Almanac listed the Midway with a 750-car capacity.
