Sega Park was a brand of arcades operated either wholly or partly by Sega during the 1990s and 2000s in the United Kingdom and Spain.
In the UK, Sega Parks began appearing in the mid-1990s after the launch of Metropolis (1992) and Sega World Bournemouth (1993), with the first Spanish Sega Park, Sega Park Madrid, opening in 1995. In both cases the Sega Park name was used to describe Sega arcade venues inside shopping centres, and unlike Sega Worlds, were typically smaller venues with just standard arcade games - no medium scale attractions or rides.
Over 16 Sega Park arcades opened in the UK, with most being sold off to Leisure Exchange in 2000, keeping the Sega Park branding, Over the years, Sega's presence has been reduced, with arcades either closing down or being renamed as new management teams took over operations. The final Sega Park in the UK to close was in Sega Park Southampton, on January 30th, 2013.
