Caption:
American Primative Artist, Patti Simpson Ward, offers a delightful depiction of what her experience was like visiting Natatorium Park as a child. The painting above is titled "Riding the Jack Rabbit at Nat". According to Patti, "Most folks would say the most thrilling ride there [at Nat Park] was the roller coaster - aptly named the Jack Rabbit. Each trip around the dizzying tracks lasted about a minute and a half, with speeds and dips that were guaranteed to leave you breathless - and "lunch-less," if you had eaten too many hot dogs and cotton candy..."
