No. For the safety and enjoyment of all other guests we prohibit cycling, skateboarding and scooter use within the park grounds. You may walk your bicycle/scooter through but please do not ride. Staff and security can ask you to leave the park should you ignore instructions not to ride.
I'm accompanying someone as a carer am I able to ride with them?
Yes, you can accompany them on any ride with the appropriate number of tickets for you both or if the person requires carer assistance during the ride itself we may issue you with a Carer’s Pass.

Carer’s Passes are issued only when you present valid Carer ID, either a badge from a company you work as a carer or if you are a parent/guardian then a DLA letter is required.

These passes are meant for carers to assist anyone requiring assistance, physical and emotional, on rides where visitors can sit side by side. This includes rides such as Pirate Ship, Twist, Waltzer where riders sit together in the same seat. With rides which are 1 (One) person per seat, such as Miami Surf, it is the Ride Operators discretion as to whether Carer’s Passes are accepted.

Carer’s Passes are also issued under our fair usage policy at the discretion of and by Ocean Beach Management and you must meet the criteria to qualify, as explained in our Terms & Conditions. Failure to meet these terms may result in Carer’s Passes being withdrawn.

Ocean Beach Pleasure Park is NOT a part of the MAX Card scheme and does not accept these as proof of carer status or to obtain discounts.

I lost something when I visited have you found it?
Any lost property found inside the park is handed in to the Middle Arcade you can contact them on 0191 456 1617.
