This had-drawn map was produced by Arlene Bianco, granddaughter of Antonio Bianco, who established and operated Cliffside Park in the 1920s and 30s. The family lived in Homer City but spent their summers at the park. The park no longer remains, only the memories.
Swimming was a popular activity at this early 20th century private park in Indiana County. From the number of people standing on the bridge you can tell this was a popular spot. We always note how well-dressed the people were that visited parks in those early days.
The boating and swimming area at Cliffside Park was created by a log dam built across Two Lick Creek. The park was a private park that operated in Indiana County during the 1920s and 30s. This particular photo looks like it was taken during the early stages of the log dam construction. The finished dam was several rows high. The log dam and park are long gone but in this area of Two Lick Creek large stones can be found stretching across the creek.
