About Belmont Park

Belmont Park makes the Mission Beach setting central to an amusement outing. The Giant Dipper’s wooden structure gives the waterfront a recognisable landmark, while rides, games and places to eat let a group build a flexible day by the ocean. Come for the combination of seaside atmosphere and selected activities rather than expecting a sprawling themed resort.

Giant Dipper is the obvious coaster priority, with other rides and attractions offering different levels of intensity. The broader setting also makes it easy to give food or a walk by the beach a substantial place in the day. Choose access around the experiences the party wants instead of assuming every visitor needs the same ride package.
