CFJ Park Carousel

Welcome to CFJ Park Carousel, a cherished gem located at 98 CFJ Boulevard, Johnson City, New York. This historic park, established in 1923, was named in honor of Charles F. Johnson and was designed for the enjoyment of the Endicott-Johnson employees and the local community. At the heart of the park is the magnificent carousel, a generous gift from George F. Johnson to the children of Johnson City. As one of only 19 remaining Allan Herschell Carousels in the world, our carousel is a testament to timeless craftsmanship, featuring 72 beautifully hand-carved wooden horses known as "jumpers."

The park is a vibrant community hub, offering a range of recreational facilities including a spray park, little league and softball fields, basketball, volleyball, and tennis courts, playground equipment, and three picnic pavilions. Restroom facilities are also available for your convenience. The carousel and spray park operate daily from 12 PM to 6 PM, weather permitting, from the 4th of July through Labor Day weekend.

CFJ Park is not just about fun rides and sports; it is also a venue for community events like the annual Carousel Day. This event, organized by the Johnson City Partners, celebrates the park's rich history and its role in the economic revitalization of the Johnson City Downtown Business District.

Whether you're looking to enjoy a leisurely ride on a historic carousel, partake in various sports, or simply relax in one of our picnic pavilions, CFJ Park Carousel offers something for everyone. We invite you to experience the charm and history of this iconic park and become a part of its enduring legacy.
