Greenwood Family Park, Theme park and café in Gwynedd, Wales
Greenwood Family Park is a theme park set among forested grounds in Snowdonia National Park with rides, activity areas, and food facilities. The site blends natural woodland surroundings with attractions such as the Green Dragon Roller Coaster and water rides designed for families of different ages.
The park pioneered environmental practices by introducing the first human-powered roller coaster in the United Kingdom. This innovation shaped its early identity as a place where family entertainment met sustainable design thinking.
The craft area displays works by local artisans practicing traditional Welsh skills and techniques throughout the year. Visitors encounter these craftspeople at work and see how generations of knowledge remain active in the region today.
Comfortable shoes are essential due to uneven woodland paths and slopes connecting the different attractions throughout the grounds. Planning your visit timing helps avoid peak crowds at popular rides, and facilities are distributed across the site for easy access.
The Green Dragon Roller Coaster operates through the physical effort of riders climbing stairs to convert their body weight into motion for the ride. This non-motorized system where visitors power the attraction themselves is a rare type of ride found in very few places worldwide.
