The Croydon Park Theatre was opened in early-1922. It was a ‘reverse’ theatre, having its screen at the front entrance end of the building. Seating was provided in stalls and circle levels. The theatre opened early 1922 and seated 960 patrons.

It was slightly remodeled in May 1934, to the plans of architect J.C.R. Mills, which included the re-modeling of the proscenium.

The Croydon Park Theatre was closed in 1960, and was converted into a carpet store, which remains in operation today. Both the exterior and interior of the building have had little to none alterations - Notes by Ken Roe.

The Croydon Park Theatre is screening The Fuzzy Pink Nightgown - This is a 1957 American romantic comedy film made by Russ-Field Productions and released by United Artists. It was directed by Norman Taurog from a screenplay by Richard Alan Simmons, based on a novel of the same name by Sylvia Tate while the music was composed and conducted by Billy May. The film stars Jane Russell, Keenan Wynn and Ralph Meeker.
