In 1921, trolley service to the park ended. On 18 July 1922, the City of Johnstown purchased Luna Park, its land, and an additional tract in Upper Yoder Township with an appropriation of $366,618 ($210,469 going to the heirs of Frank Cresswell, who still owned Luna Park's land). Subsequently, a vote of the Johnstown City Commission restored the Roxbury Park name to the still-open amusement parkThomas Gary Smith, Green Republican: John Saylor and the Preservation of America's Wilderness (University of Pittsburgh Press 2006) and gradually converted Roxbury Park into a municipal park. No trace remains of the racetrack or the amusement park itself.
