The Scarboro Beach Amusement Park was located in the Beaches neighbourhood. It featured various attractions such as a theatre, freak shows, a penny arcade, and later, a wooden velodrome.

Pictured here, from the William James family founds found in the City of Toronto Archives, is a bicycle race in the velodrome, circa 1926.
