The province has issued a request for proposals to develop the former Trinity Loop Amusement Park site just outside the historic Trinity North community.

Proposals will only be accepted for tourism-related establishments such as RV parks, resorts, campgrounds, cottage rentals or tourist attractions. The successful proponent will have the opportunity to purchase the ten hectare site and receive a Crown grant.

The Trinity Train Loop is a unique part of the province’s historic railway line and the only railway loop of its kind in North America. Engineers found a way to build the line that spirals around a circular pond to take it over a steep incline down to the shoreline.

The registered heritage structure was developed into a popular family-themed amusement park after the railway closed in the 1980s. The park closed in 2004 and the rusting and decaying infrastructure has become a popular destination for adventurers attracted to abandoned sites.

Proposals for development will be accepted until March 3, 2023.
