Yes, it was next to an artificial lake which has since been drained.

Was the steak house separate from the snack bar?

The original ticket box and entrance road STILL exist on McComas Grove! The ticket box has been gutted and turned into a shelter with park benches underneath, the entrance road is blocked off from the street and goes up to what’s left of the ticket box.

The playground on the site pays tribute to the old drive-in that was there.
