Valley Drive-In

Opened in 1972 and destroyed in a fire in 1980. Repairs were carried out and it reopened. It was still intact in 1991, but had been demolished by 2004. Had a capacity of 600 cars. Owned by Hallmark.

It became a golf driving range and when that closed a Planet Fitness was built on the site. The marquee still stands as do several light poles and a ramp.

The status should be closed/demolished. It was turned into a golf driving range which later closed as well. There was a rumor last spring that someone was planning to turn this back into a drive-in, but apparently that rumor was unfounded.

A 1985 aerial shows the screen and concession stand/projector booth intact, so perhaps both structures were rebuilt after the fire? It was still intact by 1991, but by 2004 the land was cleared and the driving range put in.

Today, a Planet Fitness sits on the property. What may have been the marquee has been fitted with the Planet Fitness sign. You can still see the general outline, but pretty much all traces of the drive-in are gone.
