Get ready for a wave of nostalgia and excitement—one of Devon’s most cherished family attractions is making a triumphant return just in time for Easter! But here’s where it gets even more exciting: Trago Mills’ Family Fun Park in Newton Abbot isn’t just reopening; it’s being reimagined under new management, promising a vibrant new chapter for this beloved destination. And this is the part most people miss—it’s not just about the rides, the Model Railway, or even the Splash Adventure (though those are all coming back in full swing). It’s about reviving a piece of Devon’s heritage and creating new memories for generations to come.
After a period of closure and uncertainty that left many locals worried, the park is now in the hands of Play Leisure, a team of seasoned South West leisure experts. At the helm is Matthew Conridge, a native of Exeter, who brings a personal connection to the project. “I grew up visiting Trago’s Fun Park, and like so many families, I have priceless memories of the laughter and joy shared here,” Matthew shared. “Seeing it closed felt like losing a piece of home. That’s why we’re not just reopening it—we’re breathing new life into it, ensuring it remains a cornerstone of Devon’s story.”
But here’s the controversial part: While many celebrate the park’s return, some wonder if modern updates will dilute its timeless charm. Will the new management strike the right balance between innovation and nostalgia? Only time will tell. In the meantime, Trago is already rolling out behind-the-scenes improvements, with updates shared on TikTok to keep fans in the loop. This isn’t just a win for the park—it’s a boost for the local economy, supporting jobs and tourism across the region.
As the park prepares to reopen, one thing is clear: this isn’t just a business venture; it’s a labor of love. From the Bickington Steam Railway staying open to the promise of new experiences, Trago Mills is poised to reclaim its spot as a family favorite. So, what do you think?
