To inspire and engage the community, near and far, in the preservation and exhibition of Northwest Ohio’s historical drive-in theater, and to foster our love for this important piece of Americana for all generations. The last of eight Toledo-area drive-ins, the drive-in opened in 1949 as The Parkside and was known as the Sundance from 1987 until 2023 when Save Our Screen took over operations and r
enamed it The Parkside! Our small group of volunteers have been busy working behind the scenes to save the drive-in not only from closing, but to also preserve, restore, and operate this iconic drive-in as a community drive-in. And, our dedication to the drive-in doesn’t stop with saving it! Our future plans include keeping the drive-in The Parkside as it was originally named in 1949, registering the drive-in as a national historical site, and unveiling The Parkside National Drive-In Museum, so we may proudly showcase the historical significance of our local drive-in and the golden era of Americana, to all! We need your help to SAVE OUR SCREEN!
