Since 1999, the Altoona Curve have been a staple of Blair County. The brand new Blair County Ballpark in Lakemont, PA provides a state of the art ball park facility to house the local heroes of baseball.
The above photo shows an ariel shot of the Blair County Ballpark. Construction of this facility was completed in 1999.
Opened in 1894 as a trolley park, Lakemont Park has overcome many obstacles to become the 8th oldest amusement park in the United States.
One of Lakemont's most prized possessions is the world's oldest roller coaster, Leap-the-Dips. Built at the park in 1902 by the E. Joy Morris Company, the historic wooden roller coaster was restored and reopened on Memorial Day 1999. It was named a National Historic Landmark in 1996.
