New lease of life for the former American Adventure Theme Park
Plans to reclaim and redevelop the site of the former American Adventure theme park, between Heanor and Ilkeston, were revealed by Waystone Developments during a series of public consultations in November 2012, with local people giving their views on Waystone Developments' proposals for the site
The Alfreton-based company is proposing a sustainable, mixed use development for the land around the lake, which it hopes will eventually feature a small business park, commercial and retail sectors, along with education, healthcare, retirement, leisure and new homes.
The proposals include…
• re-opening of the lakeside area to the public
• 307 new homes
• a business park including office and hybrid industrial space
• a leisure focused garden centre
• an area for training / leisure / education facilities
• healthcare and retirement provision
• pub, restaurant, hotel and conference suite on the island site
