Whalom Park

Whalom Park was an amusement park located on Lake Whalom in Lunenburg, Massachusetts, that operated from 1893 to 2000. The site was redeveloped into a 240 unit apartment complex.

Whalom Park was established in 1893 by the Fitchburg & Leominster Street Railway as a traditional, English style park of gardens and walking paths. At the time of its last day of operations in 2000, Whalom was known as the 13th oldest amusement park in the United States, as well as the second oldest trolley park in the world. The park had been in continuous seasonal operation for 107 years. The "Flyer Comet" wooden roller coaster was one of the park's best known rides. Most remaining structures at the park, including the Flyer Comet, were demolished in October 2006 to make way for development.

In 2006, Whalom Park was fully demolished and in 2010 was redeveloped into a 240 unit apartment complex. In a nod to the former amusement park, the street within the complex was named Carousel Lane. The development, which was initially called Emerald Place was sold in 2022 for $76M and rebranded as Arrive Lunenburg.

In 2023, an organization known as New Whalom Cooperative hosted a "Whalom Park Experience" pop up event at Doyle Field in Leominster Massachusetts. In partnership with Manuel Amusements, the three day July 2023 event featured rides such as a scrambler, swings, carousel, slide, and four kiddie rides with games including skeeball and balloon chance games

The New Whalom Cooperative is a consumer co op dedicated to the preservation of the Whalom amusement park past, present, and future.
