Coney Beach Amusement Park in Porthcawl, Wales, has closed permanently, with its final day of operation on October 4, 2025, marking the end of the 2025 season. The amusement park had been operating for 107 years after first opening in 1918. The Evans family, who owned the amusement park, sold the site to the Welsh Government earlier in 2023.
Demolition of the site is underway, following the sale of the land by the Evans family to the Welsh Government earlier in 2023. The land forms part of a major regeneration project planned for the Porthcawl waterfront, with the redevelopment proposal including plans for up to 980 homes as well as shops, cafés and restaurants. Local planners say the project aims to secure the long-term future of Porthcawl as a seaside destination and create new jobs.
The amusement park is believed to have originally been built to entertain American troops returning from World War 1, and its name was inspired by the famous pleasure park at Coney Island in New York. A fireworks display was held on the final evening as visitors gathered to say goodbye.
