Hi GG!!
I was born in '61 so I have a few years on you... I was born in Burbank and grew up around Hollywood, Studio City and North Hollywood... used to get down your way to play hockey against Norwalk and I remember "Japanese Deer Park" in Buena Park.... I heard they had to close because the LA smog killed all the deer!!!....
edit... I just looked them up on Wikipedia... looks like it wasn't the smog...😢
History
The park first opened in 1967[1] at 6122 Knott Ave.[2][3] It was a Japanese-themed amusement park that featured shows and traditional Japanese buildings in an environment where deer roamed free (inspired by Nara Park). Its gate featured a torii.[4]
An episode of the detective drama Mannix, entitled "Overkill" was filmed there in early 1971.
The park closed in 1975 when it was sold to the Movieland Wax Museum. Facing mounting red ink, the owners began giving the deer lethal injections, claiming they had tuberculosis. Almost 200 were euthanized before authorities ended the practice.[5]
Onward we go little sister!!!
