Barry Island Pleasure Park is an amusement park situated on the coast at Barry Island in the Vale of Glamorgan, about 10 miles (16 km) south west of the capital city Cardiff, Wales.

The park opens annually at weekends from Easter onwards and daily during the school summer holidays, until the first weekend in September.

The pleasure park is located opposite the sandy beachfront at Barry and contains a variety of amusements including fairground rides, attractions & food outlets. The surrounding area, known locally as "Barry Island", contains a further variety of shops, bars and restaurants.

There are also several amusement arcades located around the park.

Barry Island Pleasure Park is now owned by showman Henry Danter. As well as investing in brand new rides & attractions he has also announced plans to expand with a nearby holiday camp to compliment his pleasure park.^[1]
