Derelict Brocklands Adventure Park Found Overgrown by Urban Explorers

The park underwent significant expansion and rebranding over the years. In 1987, it was rebranded as Pixieland Funpark, and by 1990, it had added a 15-inch gauge miniature railway, pony rides, trampolines, and an all-weather playground. In March 1997, Pip's Place, a new restaurant seating 200 guests, was unveiled. Further attractions included a ten-pin bowling alley, archery center, crazy golf, quad biking, bumper boats, and a mega tube slide. The park housed animals such as rabbits, ducks, iguanas, snakes, parrots, and a raccoon. In 2000, the park was renamed Brocklands Adventure Park, solidifying its status as a full theme park. The current ownership status of the site and any preservation or demolition plans remain unclear, as do the fates of the animals after the 2007 closure.

Today, the site is derelict and overgrown with vines and weeds. Urban explorers from the YouTube channel Street Zips found an old archery range with items like soap dispensers, a bow and arrow, drawers, plugs, fuses, and smart plugs. According to Daily Express - Travel, Street Zips described hearing a squeak, possibly from a rat, in the archery range. The explorers also found rodent trap boxes, indicating an infestation. According to Daily Express - Travel, Street Zips described the trap as serious with a spring. In their exploration, they discovered a kiwi tree still producing fruit. In a former animal enclosure, the explorers saw posters of creatures for a taxidermy display made only from roadkill, and they found old pheasant feathers on the floor. What development plans were mentioned for 2021 and what specific awards the park won during its operation are unknown.
