Southport Pleasureland is an amusement park in Southport, Merseyside, England, UK. In 2006, the park closed as a permanent theme park and became a location for fairmen to place their rides. However, the park has begun to reinstall some permanent rides in recent years. The park was once owned by the Thompson family, who own the nearby Blackpool Pleasure Beach.
