The Meadowbrook Drive-In was opened July 2, 1953 with Clark Gable in “Never Let Me Go” & Stewart Granger in “The Wild North”. Its specialty was second run triple features. It had a capacity for 700 cars and seating for 500 patrons on the patio. It closed in 1987. Its screen and marquee are still intact and the site is used as a commercial storage & parking lot. By 2018, the site was unused.
With thanks to J. Bowers.

Was a BMX bicycle track for awhile…Check out the bike mounted on the old marquee, if it’s still there.

i past by the old drive in today i was thinking about getting it restored.it does not look to bad for it to be built in the fifties.if anyone knows any information about this drive in,please i need your help in restoring this historical drive in.
Approx. location for this drive-in was Riverside Dr. just north of Hwy 30 across from Airgas.
Looks like this site has been trashed!! This site is now used to store dumpsters.
This opened on July 2nd, 1953. Grand opening ad in the photo section.
Closed 1978.
Doesn’t look like it is used for trash bin storage any longer. Amazing how close this was to the Ft. Worth Twin Drive In. :-)
I believe the dumpster company left in 2018.
Made a comeback in 1985 for three seasons as a Spanish language drive-in theatre, according to the local paper, closing in 1987.
