About Pleasure Island
Pleasure Island was built in the early 1960's with rides geared for young children. Pleasure Island was a fun place to take the kids, eat cotton candy and spend time as a family. Pleasure Island was open evenings and weekends. The park opened in the 60s and was surrounded by Huber park on the south west side and Bulldog Baseball Park on the north and East. The park's name changed in the 1980's in a contest to give the park a new name, One Flag Over Borger was picked. Today Pleasure Island is just a memory. The last remaining parts were removed and the area black-topped and now is a Free RV parking area (Huber Park Free RV Park) A Local collector owned the Peddle Cars and Airplanes but, all were sold to other collectors. Several Paddle Cars and Planes were in a restaurant in Amarillo, Texas called "All the Fixins" which is now closed.
