Japanese Village and Deer Park


I have very vague memories of Japanese Village and Deer Park while growing up in Southern California. My family lived in various locations in Southern California.. before moving up to San Francisco in 1974.
I have this photo of my Dad and I feeding the deer , circa, 1971 or 72 ? I would have been about 7 years old... must have been a hot day since my shirt has busted open ( ha-ha )

also saved this toy deer from there .. amazingly it's survived my childhood which was filled with setting my 12 inch tall GI Joes on fire and such ...
the figure is about 2 inches tall by 1.25 inches long, and made of a semi hard plastic. I found this Wiki on the park for more info..so sorry to hear about the deers, though..sniff ... as well as some amazing photos on this blog here ...and here .... really nice blog with great pics of early Disneyland and such.
