Top Shots Fun Park closes to make way for housing
After 16 years of successful operation, the Top Shots Fun Park at Maroochydore on the Sunshine Coast closed down on Tuesday 31st January with its site to soon be redeveloped with residential townhouses.
Opened in 2000, Top Shots had been owned by Sunshine Coast locals Barry and Bev Higgins since its inception and was acknowledged as a Sunshine Coast family favourite.
Over the years Top Shots has loaded thousands of customers onto its rides and hosted many keen mini golf players along with famous faces including Wally Lewis; ‘Alfie’ Langer; Terri, Bindi and Robert Irwin; Chris Vermeulen; the Curry-Kenny family and recently the Hawthorn and Western Bulldogs AFL teams.
Along the way, the attraction’s youngest customer was only weeks old, its oldest is in his nineties while on the 18 hole mini-golf course, the best score was 36, the worst score 110.
After many years of listening to the laughter of happy childre at Top Shots, Barry and Bev Higgins are now retiring and would like to thank their many customers for their support over the years.
The couple are also pleased that during the final week of their operations many people visited Top Shots for the last time to say their goodbyes.
