Hi-Lite Park was an amusement park in Geelong, Australia, located on the corner of Bellarine Street and Ritchie Boulevard, near Eastern Beach, where the tram terminus once stood. It opened in 1956 and closing circa 1985 Fact|date=September 2007.It was a very popular foreshore attraction in Geelong, comparable to Luna Park, Melbourne. The Hi-Lite Park was closed to make way for the new redevelopment of the Eastern Beach precinct in the 1990's, and today nothing remains of the former Hi-Lite Park.

In December 2006, a Ferris wheel reported as the largest non-permanent Ferris wheel in the southern hemisphere, was renovated by Phoenix Fabrication & Welding of Geelong who enlarged the 36 gondolas. It was then erected in the same area in which Hi-Lite Park once stood.

It was imported from overseas by the Verfurth family who run Hi-Lite Amusements, having also operated Hi-Lite Park under the ownership of first-generation showman Emile Verfurth.Fact|date=February 2007
