An amusement park built to compete with Jantzen Beach on the site of the old Columbia Beach park on Tomahawk Island. The bath house opened for business on June 14, 1930 with the rest of the park following suit on June 28. Built on a shoestring budget and plagued by problems, the park only lasted three seasons before closing and being sold for scrap in July 1933.
The park’s entrance bridge was right on the Vancouver streetcar line, with its own station called “Lotus Isle–Faloma”. However, this station was located near Faloma on the mainland, rather than at the modern-day Lotus Isle Park which is actually located on the infill between Hayden and Tomahawk islands. However, from the park, you can still see the remains of the 700-foot trestle that carried the streetcar line across the Columbia from the Oregon shore to the island.
