Kū, the Hawaiian war god, at Tiki Gardens in 1982
Tiki Gardens was a South Seas Polynesian theme park in Indian Shores, Florida. The park was closed down in the 80's and sold by the owners "Trader" Frank Byars, and Wahine Jo Byars, to a developer who planned to build a hotel on the large property. Pinellas County, Florida bought the property from the developer and turned it into a public beach access parking lot.
The LP "Exotic Sounds from Tiki Gardens" features "Polynesian Fantasy... the Tiki Gardens Theme Song", which was written by Ernie Shreeves, who was one of the "men behind Tiki Gardens".
