Remembering Playland

The Balboa Theatre
San Francisco, CA


The Balboa Theatre in San Francisco is proud to be hosting multiple shows of Tom Wyrsch's newest film, REMEMBERING PLAYLAND AT THE BEACH. The theater is just a dozen blocks from the site of the beloved amusement park.

Upcoming screenings are on Saturday-Sunday March 27 and  March 28 at 12:00pm; Saturday and Sunday, April 3 and 4 at 12 noon. Final weekend.

A full length documentary about San Francisco's famous 10-acre seaside amusement park, Playland at the Beach. Located next to Ocean Beach, it was torn down in 1972 to make way for a condominium development. Gone now for more than 3 decades, it remains one of the city's lost treasures. Go back in time to see Laffing Sal, the Fun House, the Carousel, the Big Dipper, the Diving Bell, Dark Mystery, Limbo, Fun-tier Town, and much, much more, all through the eyes of the  people that were there.  The first and only documentary ever made about Playland.   Written & Directed by Tom Wyrsch.  Running time: 62 minutes plus related short subjects.  Don't miss it this time!
