Highland Park was an amusement park in York, Pennsylvania, which began as a trolley park in 1891, founded by what was eventually known as the York Railways Company.
Featured in The Gazette and Daily (York, PA) on July 7, 1949, page 14.In 1907, the park awarded T.M. Harton Company a contract to install a figure eight roller coaster at Highland. The roller coaster, called Figure Eight, operated from 1907 to 1916. The coaster was removed in favor of a carousel and a Ferris Wheel. The Harton Company relocated the coaster to a park in the Cleveland, Ohio area.
In 1921, York Railways sold the park to Eli Z. Zinn, who converted part of the property into a stone quarry. Roller skating continued to occur on part of the unconverted property up until World War II.
