Bay Beach is a municipal amusement park in Green Bay, Wisconsin. The park is situated near the mouth of the Fox River as it flows into Green Bay, on the east bank. It features rides, concessions, and a roller coaster. The park's history dates to the 1890s, when entrepreneur Mitchell Nejedlo purchased the land he would turn into Bay View Beach. From the site's earliest days as a private park, a public beach was available, but pollution of the bay eventually caused the swimming beach to close. From the 1930s to the early 1970s, Bay Beach's pavilion hosted concerts, political rallies, dances, Fourth of July fireworks, and other events. In 1934, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt visited Bay Beach in celebration of Green Bay's tercentennial. Today the park is a family place, with scenic views and rides for children, including bumper cars, a small-scale passenger train ride, a large slide and a Ferris wheel. Rides cost as little as 25 cents.
