The Burlington City Park Carousel is a 3-Row Dentzel Menagerie Carousel built around 1906-1910 at the Dentzel Carousel Company on Germantown Avenue in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The Carousel was purchased by the City of Burlington in the summer of 1948 from Mr. Carl Utoff.

In addition to the carousel restoration, a new house for the Carousel was constructed. The new Carousel House is open-air in the warmer months and enclosed by glass during cold weather allowing the Carousel to operate year-round.
