Richland Carrousel Park opened in 1991 as the first new, hand- carved carrousel to be built and operated in the United States since the 1930's. The Carrousel figures were carved in the style of G.A. Dentzel, one of the most revered carvers of the early 1900's. All 52 figures were designed, carved and painted by Carrousel Works in Mansfield, Ohio. Carrousel Works also restored the antique rounding boards, mirrors and mural frames. There are 30 horses and 22 menagerie figures, including 4 bears, 4 ostriches, 4 cats, 4 rabbits, a goat, giraffe, lion, tiger, zebra and a mythical hippocampus. A Stinson Band Organ provides rousing music for carrousel riders. The scenery panels atop the carrousel depict past and present attractions in Mansfield.
