Rumbles was located near the corner of St. Johns Road and Old Turnpike Road near Drums. The location is about midway between the site of Angela Park and Evergreen Park.

popular picnic grove and swimming location. Rumbles reportedly had a large concrete swimming pool, possibly with fresh water from a nearby creek, diverted through a series of metal troughs.

The park also had picnic facilities, concession stands, and a large playground. A dance hall may also have existed.

Cabins located across the road were available for rent, and may have been owned by the same family that operated the park.

The park was likely open by the 1920s or 1930s, and may have closed anywhere from the late 1940s to the 1960s.

remnants of the park still exist, including the pool; much of the area is overgrown from years of neglect.
