There’s exciting news for South West families and tourists alike, as Trago’s Family Fun Park at Newton Abbot is set to reopen in time for Easter, ushering in a vibrant new chapter for one of the region’s most treasured attractions.
The park will now be operated by experienced South West leisure specialists Play Leisure.
Leading this exciting new era is Matthew Conridge from Exeter, the Managing Director of Play Leisure Services. Devon-born and proudly local, Matthew has a personal connection to the park that makes this reopening especially meaningful. Having grown up visiting Trago’s Family Fun Park himself, he says the decision to step in was both professional and personal.
“I used to come to Trago’s Fun Park as a child, and like so many local families, I have fantastic memories of days spent here,” said Matthew. “I didn’t want to see it stay closed. This place is part of Devon’s story. We’re incredibly proud to be bringing it back to life and ensuring a new generation can make those same memories.”
Under Matthew’s leadership, Play Leisure is committed not only to reopening the gates, but to securing a strong and sustainable future for this much-loved attraction.
Visitors can look forward to the full return of everything they know and love:
- All rides across the Family Fun Park
- The world-famous Model Railway, a firm favourite with generations of visitors
- Splash Adventure, reopening just in time for warmer days
- The beloved Bickington Steam Railway, which has proudly remained open throughout
In addition to reopening the attractions, a programme of ongoing improvements is already underway. Over the coming weeks, behind-the-scenes updates and progress will be shared on TikTok, giving the community a front-row seat as the park prepares to welcome visitors once again.
The reopening represents more than just the return of a family day out. It signals renewed confidence, investment, and opportunity for the local economy, supporting jobs and tourism across the region.
With Easter firmly in sight, families are encouraged to keep an eye out for exciting launch promotions and special opening offers as the countdown begins.
Further details, including confirmed opening dates and promotional announcements, will be revealed soon. Follow the journey on TikTok over the coming weeks and join the countdown to a truly special Easter at Trago’s Family Fun Park.
