Pixieland Amusement Park has been providing fun and enchantment for
generations of children in the Concord area for over 40 years.
The magic began in the late 1950's when toy store owner Norman Rosenburg
built the original park next to his store at the eastern end of the
Park and Shop lot. Naming it King Norman's Wonderland, the park began
with a merry-go-round, a train, a ferris wheel and miniature cars,
which required a driver's license issued by the park.
The Wonderland enchanted children until 1965, when it was removed
due to an expansion of the shopping center.
Bill Edwards, an employee of the original park, decided to keep the
magic alive and purchased the rides when it closed. He moved them to
Oakland for a brief period, but soon returned to Willow Pass Park in
1970, where Pixieplayland, (it's original name), has been ever since.
Bill maintained the magic until 1989, when he retired.
The City of Concord purchased several rides and turned the operation
of the park over to Sam Johnston in May 1990. The park was renovated
in 1995.
5 years later it was sold to the current owner, Jeff Warrenburg. With
meticulous attention to detail and safety, Jeff has ensured that Pixieland
will remain a Concord tradition for years to come.
We hope you'll share in our tradition and make some memories that
will last a lifetime.
