Robinson Park Studios namesake was derived from “Robison Park ” which was an amusement park built in 1896 just outside Fort Wayne . This park offered many entertainment options and was one of the most unique parks of its type for the era. We felt it appropriate to carry on the tradition of “entertainment” that Robison Park began those many years ago. We strive to make our studio a destination for people who want to use their creative talents in the entertainment industry and offer a short biography about “ Robison Park .” We hope you will enjoy reading about it.

Robison Park was built by the interurban trolley line Fort Wayne Consolidated Railway Company in 1896 and continued through 1919, it was one of many such trolley-company-owned parks throughout the Midwest. This park was special, and had many of the same entertainment attractions of large cities, the ride attractions of the large parks, and the scenic beauty that one may not expect to find in northern Indiana – all right here in Fort Wayne.
