after all these years it appears part of the original fencing and the exit road still exist. the castle next to the drive-in was part of a family fun center that closed in 2016 and was demolished. now it’s easier to see the shape of the drive-in
The Woodward Park Drive In opened on October 6th, 1978.
All gone now, An Costco and Home Depot now stands on its site.
The final ad that I could find in the Fresno Bee for the Woodland Park was on Sept. 2, 2001. The final four double features were: “American Pie 2” + “Jurassic Park III” / “Rush Hour 2” + “Planet of the Apes” / “Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back” + “The Others” / “Summer Catch” + “American Outlaws”
The following summer, the drive-in was demolished. The final screen came down on July 29, 2002.
