My parents owned Linder Lake. I'm glad y'all remember it. It was great growing up there as a kid. I had lots of fun and met lots of people. If you have any questions I'll be glad to answer them. It was closed I believe in about 1968. It was during the time of integration and my stepfather and mother said that they would bulldoze it in before they would have anyone tell them who they could and could not allow to come into their privately owned property. So they bulldozed it in and were going to build apartments but they got a divorce soon thereafter and the property was sold to some sort of manufacturing company. I worked and managed the concession stand once I got old enough and we did have the best hamburgers and hotdogs in the world.
