NUNLEYS !!!! Oh it brings tears to my eyes. So many memories. I remember my grandma going on the rides with me!!!

Nunley's, Baldwin: This small kiddie amusement park entertained toddlers and their parents from 1939 to 1995. You could go on the Ferris wheel, play miniature golf or enjoy other tame rides. But what most people remember is the carousel: a glorious 1912 Stein & Goldstein model (one of only three intact) that was moved from Brooklyn when Nunley's opened and contained 41 horses, two chariots and a lion. When Nunley's closed, the carousel was bought by Nassau County (which successfully won a court decision blocking an auction). It was put in storage in a hangar at Mitchel Field, awaiting refurbishing and possible relocation to the proposed Nassau County Museum Row. Perhaps soon a new generation will be able to grab the carousel's brass ring. A Pep Boys auto store now occupies the Sunrise Highway site.

I can get my oil changed anywhere but there will never be another Nunleys !!!
