    Needlepoint is yarn stitched thru an open weave canvas. Sure doesn't look like needlepoint to me.

    Looks like an enlarged print of an old style postcard.

    Jivvy the research is my favorite

    Your close ups are not in focus (critical for viewing needlework and prints), but as best I can tell @Bakersgma nailed it.

    Idora Park existed from 1899 to1984. The amusement park went into a serious decline in the 1970s when jobs started to disappear from Youngstown in earnest. My guess would be that the original image dates to before that....the clothes look like the 1950s or 60s.
