Ocean Beach Pleasure Park, fairground in South Shields
Ocean Beach Pleasure Park is an amusement park in South Shields, South Tyneside, in northeast England, set right along the coast. The site has over 40 rides and attractions for different ages, including a roller coaster, bumper cars, a ghost train, and arcade games.
The park began many decades ago as a small seaside fun spot and grew over time into one of the largest amusement parks in northeast England. It has changed and added new rides over the years while remaining a familiar place for the local community.
The park sits right by the sea and has been a gathering spot for local families for generations. On weekends and school holidays, people come here to spend time together and enjoy the rides as a shared day out.
Entry to the park is free and visitors only pay for the rides they choose to use. A rechargeable Tap and Play card system makes it easy to buy credits for the attractions without needing cash each time.
The park allows dogs on a leash, making it one of the few amusement parks where visitors can bring their pets along for the day. The Tap and Play cards do not expire, so any leftover credits can be saved for the next visit.
