I think it's fenced off. there are no rides left and the few buildings that are left are in terrible shape.

rocky point was torn down and no longer around everything is gone. i live down here and know alot about it. the park is really missed. the reason why it shut down was because the mafia who owned it couldn't pay for the land anymore..
im talking about the park............ but there goign to open some parts to the public. it is not open yet i believe.
