CLIFFSIDE PARK, NJ - Palisades Amusement Park was an iconic 38-acre attraction in Bergen County's Cliffside Park and bordering Fort Lee, operating from 1898 to 1971 atop the Palisades cliffs with stunning Hudson River views. It drew millions annually through rides like the Cyclone roller coaster, a massive saltwater pool, and live performances by stars like The Supremes.

Originally opened as a trolley park in 1898 by Bergen County Traction Company to boost ridership, the amusement park was first named "The Park on the Palisades."​

In 1908 it was renamed as Palisades Amusement Park and a Ferris wheel, carousel, and rides were added under new owners August Neumann and Frank Knox.

Between 1910 to 1934, the Schenck brothers owned the Amusement Park and built the world's largest saltwater pool in 1912, and roller coasters like the Cyclone in 1928.​

The Amusement Park was rebuilt after fires in 1935 and 1944, while under the ownership of the Rosenthal brothers, who boosted the Park’s fame.

In 1971, the Palisades Amusement Park officially closed - amid rezoning pressure, traffic issues, and no heirs - after it was sold to Winston-Centex Corporation for $12.5 million.

Winston Towers was developed in its place - two 31-story luxury condo towers - 200 Winston Dr. and 300 Winston Dr. - with 1,000+ units, a health club (Palisadium), pool, tennis courts, and Manhattan views on the former park land. 

Winston Towers units are actively listed, with one to three-bedroom condos starting around $399,000 to $450,000 for 962–1,509 sq ft layouts featuring modern updates and river views. Prices range up to $665,000+ for larger units; amenities include 24-hour security, gym, and pool. A 1998 memorial "Little Park of Memories" honors the amusement park on-site.
