Pleasure Beach, Blackpool is an amusement park as its name indicates, in Blackpool, Lancashire, England. The park was founded in 1896 by Alderman William George Bean, said he wanted to create "... an amusement park in the style of American parks that adults would feel like children again and they inspire a sense of innocence and cheerfulness. "

This park is primarily a family affair because since its inception, generations after generations, the park remained in the hands of the same family. First led by Brother Bean, Leonard Thompson, until the 1970s. It then his son William Geoffrey Thompson took over, until his death in 2004. Today is the daughter of Geoffrey William, Amanda Thompson, who is the head of the park.

The park suffered in recent years many changes to reformat some attractions. These changes are also visible in the name of the park, because since 2007, the park originally called Blackpool Pleasure Beach has become Pleasure Beach, Blackpool.
