     History
    Opened in 1974 as "Circus World". In 1986 was bought by HBJ and closed, was revamped into "Boardwalk and Baseball". Sold to Busch Entertainment (date unknown), according to Busch Entertainment the park never turned a profit and was closed down in the middle of the day on Jan 17th 1990.

    Has been used since by the Kansas City Royals for Spring Training, was also renamed "Baseball City Stadium" complex.

    Nothing remains of the "Park" and is currently being torn down to build the "Polk County Center".
