There are lots of interesting pieces of this and that in the graveyard located at the west end of the employee parking lot. My favorites are the old totem poles. But you are right, there are pieces that look like could have been from the spinnaker. There are many old Marriott treasures scattered around the park. The SFGA folks just dump things where ever there is space. All types of old push carts behind Trudy's Sweet Shop.

Blast from the Past! Great Pictures. I, too, noticed how small all the trees are and the abundance of polyester clothing...hello '70s Show. It's funny to see that the park still looks much the same today but the people in those photos are now senior citizens and probably take their grandchildren to the park.
