The Tilden Park Merry-Go-Round is a carousel located in Tilden Park near Berkeley, California. It was built by the Herschel-Spillman Company of Tonawanda, New York in 1911, and it is one of the few true antiques left in the United States. Before arriving at Tilden in 1948, the carousel had seen service at amusement parks in San Bernardino, Ocean Beach, and Los Angeles. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
According to the East Bay Parks' Tilden Park website, the Merry Go Round is closed for renovation January to June 2008.
