The closing of Whalom Park on Rt. 13 in Lunenburg Massachusetts saddens many people in the community. For 108 years generations went to the amusement park for old-time non-commercial fun. Families could go for the day and unwind from the long work week, while couples once went there for roller skating and dancing. Whalom was never a Disney World or a Six Flags, but that's what made it home for so many. Employees who worked there felt like they were at home away from home; now all the community has to look forward to are townhouses. People are upset that there is no place for families, children or people of all ages.
Portions of the community want to get involved but don't know how. Some think that Whalom Park is too far gone. However, there are many people with a small shimmer of hope, and united in the right way they could make Whalom Park shine again. A local man, Scott A. Lanciani has developed a plan for the community to get involved, through a cooperative ownership, called the New Whalom Park Ownership Program, LLC. People can purchase ownership shares. This would be a way to win back the people in the surrounding communities; everyone can and would be heard. Local people would own the park. Local people would run the park - A true family environment!
This community based program involves buying cooperative shares, and owning their piece of the park. This is not a donation program. We are a for-profit organization. All shares are voting shares, and all share holders will receive a benefits package. Help bring back beloved Whalom Park, for generations of today and tomorrow to enjoy!!!
