Joyland Park in Wichita, Kansas is home to memories of generations. This episode provides a condensed version of the Joyland story shared in previous episodes, including recent hopeful updates about the future of the property. Joyland was created by the Ottaway family, and later owned by the Nelsons. It operated for decades. After its closure, the park became a haven for urban explorers and vandals. Remnants of Joyland are still scattered throughout the community, and the spirit of the park still lives on today.
