Shannon's Triva: Tree Top twister - what year was the park dedicated?

Shannon's Triva: Tree Top twister - what year was the park dedicated?

By Tom Peterson with help from photo maestro Peggy Peterson

The Dalles, Ore., June 14, 2024 — This week we are playin’ around and puzzlin’.

We got a question that will have you sliding and swinging for the monkey bars. Make sure your mom packs you a PBJ and quit pushing!

Mom!!! They’re breathing my air!

Tree Top Play Park has been a staple in The Dalles for decades.

How many times could you go around on that horizontal tire swing without turning green?

So, this week we are asking you super park sleuths to swing us an answer to this:

What year was Tree Top Play Park dedicated? We’re going to even give you cuts in line with a 1-in-3 chance.

Was it?

  • 1984 - The Year of Van Halen’s Jump

  • 1991 - The Year of Nirvana’s Smells Like Teen Spirit

  • 1997 - The year of Radiohead’s Ok Computer

Send your answers to tom@cccnews.com by Sunday, June 16 at 8:13 p.m. Those with the correct answer will be entered into a raffle for a $25 gift certificate to Shannon’s Ice Cream.

Don’t know - phone a friend - even visit the park - there may be an answer. There may be a key marquee!

Shannon’s awaits you, Puzzler. Shannon’s Ice Cream 318 E. Fourth Street, scooping the dream daily from noon to 9 p.m. It’s across the street from the Civic Auditorium. Look for the boneshaker out front.
