History

Fantasy Glades was opened in 1968 by George and Rosemary Whitaker. In 1986 the park was sold to The Spry family and Brian Hutchinson, who operated the park until its closure in 2002 [2]. Some of the rides and attractions have since been purchased by Tony Williams who has plans to reopen the park in a new location on the Hastings River [3]. Currently this idea appears to be on hiatus.

Fantasy Glades was located at 44 Parklands Cl, Port Macquarie.

On 17 March 2008 the parkland became available to buy [4]. The parkland is the only landsite of its kind in the beach side area of Port Macquarie.

Shane and Karen Hay of Queensland purchased the Fantasy Glades property in 2009 with the intent of re-opening the park in the near future, pending the necessary council approvals and funds permitting.
