The sight of the BOB-LO ISLAND Amusement Park always filled young visitors with eager anticipation. Soon they'd be enjoying the rides, beautiful landscaping, and great food at Detroit's favorite summertime playground--Canada's Bob-Lo Island.  Bob-Lo still lives in the memory of those who miss the thrills!
This page lists and displays photos of the rides and attractions that were featured on the Island from 1898 through 1993.  Additional images will be posted as they become available. Send any photos or postcards of the park, its rides, buildings or attractions and I will post them on the site for everyone to enjoy.  Send images as an e-mail attachment to mrlee@mrleeonline.com . Enjoy your visit and remain seated until the ride comes to a complete stop.
