The Parker drive in theatre was closed permanently before 1986. I was there back then and it was already closed. The projection equipment had already been removed but the speakers were still on the poles. Now everything is gone except for the screen, snack bar foundation and ramps.

It appears from the overhead view on Google Maps that the screen has been removed.

A closer address is 2012 S Joshua Ave, Parker, AZ.

This places it right next to the drive-in. There is nothing remaining save for the foundation of the projection booth/concession stand. Even the ramps have faded away.
