My grandpa lived in Sussex and everytime we would visit my sister and I would see the Action Park billboards (as well as the commercials on TV) and beg my parents to take us there. They never did. I had no idea what I was missing, LOL.
I’ve been in this community for 30+ years. The owner/operator was a scumbag developer who had the entire township administration in his pocket. Anything goes, no concerns for safety OR environmental compliance, he even went as far as building an emergency services facility on the property with the intention of keeping the remedial medical services “in the family”. That went bust and the building was known by locals as the Pink Elephant due to it’s disgusting color.
I spent much of my misguided youth at Action Park doing all those things that misguided youths do. And lived to tell about it. Go figure. Good times.
