About Coastal Kids Park
Creating magical coastal adventures for Canada's families since 2024
Our Story
Founded in 2024 by a passionate team of childhood development specialists and marine conservation advocates, Coastal Kids Park was born from a simple yet powerful vision: to create Canada's first eco-friendly children's amusement park that combines the wonder of play with environmental education.
Our journey began when marine biologist Dr. Marina Coastwell and child psychologist James Oceanview recognized the need for a unique entertainment destination that would inspire children to connect with nature while having the adventure of their lives. Located on Canada's stunning coastline, our 50-acre park will open in summer 2026.
What started as a dream sketched on napkins during late-night discussions has evolved into a groundbreaking project that will welcome over 100,000 families annually. We're not just building rides – we're creating lifelong memories and fostering the next generation of environmental stewards.
Our Mission & Values
Environmental Stewardship
We're committed to protecting Canada's coastal ecosystems while educating children about marine conservation through interactive play experiences that inspire lifelong environmental consciousness.
Child-Centered Design
Every attraction, program, and space is designed with child development experts to ensure age-appropriate challenges that promote physical, cognitive, and social growth in safe environments.
