Luna Park Glenelg

Luna Park Glenelg was an amusement park located on Colley Reserve featuring mechanical rides and carnival attractions for all ages. The venue offered entertainment options for families seeking recreation and those looking for thrilling experiences.

The park opened in 1930 as an entertainment center with the Big Dipper roller coaster as its main attraction. After facing financial difficulties, it closed in 1935 and the facilities were later relocated to Sydney.

The park served as a gathering place where families from Adelaide and surrounding areas spent leisure time together. It shaped the entertainment culture of the region during the 1930s and brought people of different backgrounds to a shared space.

Entry to the park was free, but individual fees applied for each ride and attraction. Visitors should allow time to explore the various mechanical attractions and enjoy multiple rides during their visit.

After the park's financial collapse, its entire collection of rides and equipment was transported interstate to establish a new facility on Australia's east coast. This relocation made it a predecessor to modern theme park expansion across Australia.
