Foot Rot Flats and Lion Safari Park

Footrot Flats = Te Atatu

The one in te atatu was originally called Leisureland, then footrot flats, then something else.

I was on the original ad on tv for leisurealnd lol, and in the paper. The park there origionally opened about 1984

Leisureland originally started out with things like a BMX track, the drivers town cars, farm truck, bumper boats, canoes, roller coaster etc.

Later on as it changed it got more of the fun rides etc, like gravatron, the superloop, the spinny things on arms etc.....

I remember the Lion Safari Park. They had lions, tigers and camels. I can't remember what else. People would drive through the lion/tiger enclosure in their cars. They also had a water slide and go-karts.

I loved going to Leisure land/Footrot Flats too. The little cars were fun. You had to get a license and have driving lessons before you could drive on your own. When the lion safari park closed the lions went to Te Atatu.
