Pleasure Island

Pleasure Island was a water park located in Norton Shores, Michigan, near Muskegon. It operated from 1981 until its permanent closure in 1997. The park featured numerous water slides, including the distinctive “Black Hole,” alongside attractions such as mini-golf, paddle boats, and bumper boats. Its closing was largely influenced by increased competition from the nearby Michigan’s Adventure WildWater Adventure, which began operation in 1990. Following its cessation of operations, the former site was redeveloped into a residential subdivision.
