THE CHUTES

"The Chutes" was an amusement park that originally opened in 1895.  Over the years, it moved a few times, eventually being incorporated into Playland-at-the-Beach.  The attraction was demolished in 1950.

The postcard below (photographed around 1905) shows the 350-foot waterslide at the Fulton St location.
