Bongoland - Vague Recollections

"Bongoland" was originally a sugar processing facility in the 1880s. Then when the company went bust, a local business man bought the land and made a small train park with about 20 or so extraordinarily poorly made dinosaurs. The dinosaurs are now pretty much decayed as well as the sugar mill. The gardens at the park are still blooming and local volunteers take care of the park for weddings and such.
