Funland is an amusement park in Liberty City located in Firefly Island, south Broker in Grand Theft Auto IV, Episodes from Liberty City and Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars.
Description[]
It is based on an amalgam of amusement parks past and present from Coney Island in Brooklyn, New York, but primarily Astroland. Though Funland is not an interactive location, it can be visited in-game.
According to Michelle, the park is going to be rebuilt as a Las Venturas-style theme park, much like real life plans to renovate Coney Island. Funland has possibly been renovated by 2013, as one of Tavell Clinton's posts on Lifeinvader claims that he has had a ride on the Screamer.
The Liberty Go-Karts race track is renovated in 2009, expanding the race track area for the Go-Kar-TT time trials in Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars.

Trivia[]
- During Departure Time, the player can set off the large spinning ride by the second van, by setting off an explosion by it or shooting it, but not during normal gameplay.
- During the same mission, if the player does the same thing to the swinging ship, it will play its music for a few seconds. Some of the small games nearby will also make sounds when damaged. If you shoot the spider ride, it will move and play the QUB3D music.
- In The Ballad of Gay Tony multiplayer, Funland is an available location for Deathmatch and Team Deathmatch.
- In one of the disused rides, the background panorama of Los Santos shows the Vinewood Sign (left), Downtown Los Santos with a Hydra (centre), and a Shamal (right).
