Caribbean Gardens is a convert 100 acre km2 market and gardens located in the outer east ern suburb of Scoresby in Melbourne , Australia . It is one of the largest privately run markets in Australia and has been operating since the late 1960s. The market itself is contained under a large warehouse and has adjoining large recreational garden s and amusement ride s such as a chairlift , a train ride and boat cruises. The train circumnavigates Lake Caribbean on its 3.14 kilometre loop track. History In 1945, A.W. Spooner acquired convert 300 acre km2 of land in Scoresby which he named Dalmore Park . On this land he built a French Provincial mansion. In 1958, whilst overseas, he found the material known as fibreglass, and realised its potential in the boat building industry. Soon after, he established the Caribbean Boat Factory. It soon became necessary to have a lake for the testing of the boats and in the early 1960s, Lake Caribbean was built. It was subsequently opened to the public and developed by one of his sons, Rod Spooner, as Caribbean Gardens. Caribbean Gardens was the host of several amusement rides such as a ferris wheel , merry go round , go karts and a Chair O Planes ride until the mid 1990s when these rides were removed amid fears for safety after the Chair O Planes ride toppled over and landed in the lake. The chairlift, train and Jungle Cruise is all that remains operating. Lake Caribbean Lake Caribbean was built by Caribbean Boats for testing their boats. The lake was a prominent waterskiing venue until someone was seriously injured in the 1970s. Despite this incident, waterskiing events are still hosted occasionally on the lake.
