Hershey Park did not begin as an amusement park, but rather was created as an area for Hershey's employees to unwind while not on the clock. The original park featured a playground, and eventually a dance pavilion was built, then bowling alleys, a carousel and more. The park continued to expand over the years until it became the popular attraction site that it is today.http://matt.meckley.tripod.com/history_of_hersheypark.htm
