Bluewater Fun Park Closing

It's the end of the line for Bluewater Fun Park.

After 30 years of operation, owner Frank Pinsonneault says he's locking the doors at the London Line water park.

He says the tide started to turn 14 years ago and the facility has been struggling to stay afloat ever since.

The park cost $1.2-million to build and opened in 1986, originally as Bluewater Splashdown.

The business is for sale.

Laser Tag and rock climbing facilities are not affected.
