Borough of Pen Argyl

Overview

Pen Argyl’s crown jewel, a circa 1920 Dentzel Carousel was purchased in 1923 and placed in Weona Park which was chartered in 1920. One of only 2 left in the country with original factory paint, the Carousel is a circa 1900 machine with a menagerie of 44 animals; 34 horses and ponies, 3 goats, 3 giraffes, 3 deer, 1 zebra and 2 chariots.

In 1994, the animals were restored to their original glory and in 1999, the Carousel was entered into the National Historical Registry of Historic Places.

Weona Park also boasts a miniature golf course, skate park, recreational fields, and pavilions for public use. Each year in the fall is the Lookout Fire Company Labor Day parade and carnival, the largest of its kind in the area.
