Leisureland Fair

The roller coaster

Leisureland Fair is a now defunct amusement park in Langwarrin, Victoria, Australia which operated from 1984 to 1992.[1] It is now a housing estate with the only reference to it being a street named after it. The amusement park was situated on a large plot of land with a steam train which would take passengers from the carpark to the park itself.

The park consisted of a large number of attractions including a custom built steel roller coaster, log flume, waterslides, mini golf, a function centre and various other rides. The park was then sold on to a religious group who developed the site into housing.[2]

The only remaining part of Leisureland Fair is the now abandoned Function Centre, otherwise known as The Castle. The property is now under private ownership and was once the main terminus for the amusement park, situated in the centre of the park.[3]
