The park was established in 1990, and opened for the 1991 summer season. The park had an indoor adventure play centre, a boating lake, a tobogganing slope, go karts, bumper boats and an assault course. In 2005, a new range of attractions were brought to the park with the 'Family Fun Fair', which featured a log flume, a rollercoaster and bumper cars.
The park closed after its 2006 season because of breaches of its planning permission. The recent additions of a roller coaster and log flume had not been approved by North Cornwall District Council.[1] Since the park's closure it has been derelict, with some parts of the site being demolished. The land has since been granted planning permission for a large Huf Haus development.[2]
