I had my Tempe High School graduation party there, in 1970, all night! Riding the Ferris Wheel watching the Sun rise!
In 1975, I worked there (when the park was shut down) as security, keeping vandals, thieves and looky-loos from sneaking in from the adjacent ball park.
Of course, Wallace and Ladmo used to appear there and do little films for their TV show there!

We went to Legend City several times since it was so close to our home. We enjoyed Voda Kay Van Dyke very much – she was very special to the children and us grown ups liked her very much as well. And of course she went on to become Miss America. What a nice place to take the family for all to enjoy and we were sorry to have it close.

Yes, poor sad Legend City. I always wanted to go, but Mom wouldn’t drive that far. Got there finally with my cousins and it reminded me a little bit of Knotts Berry Farm, which is still around. I remember it was just too darn hot to really have any fun, so I didn’t push after that. Didn’t actually put it together that Compton Terrace was sited on the same spot!
