A new aerial adventure park is set to launch next month at the Sunshine Coast Recreation Centre after its staff complete safety training.
Minister for Sport, Stirling Hinchliffe said the aerial adventure park set new heights for active recreation.
“It is 20-metres high with spectacular views and more than 45 challenging obstacles to test agility and your comfort level with heights,” Mr Hinchliffe said.
“I’ve made the climb and can confirm there’s something for everybody in a safety harness, from beginners to the most adventurous of climbers.”
He said the Aerial Adventure Park could be used for school and sport and recreation camps and would also be open for families and casual bookings.
“Groups staying on-site will be able to take on the challenge from next month with plans to open to the community for Easter,” the Minister said.
“Work is also under way on a second Aerial Adventure Park at the Gold Coast Recreation Centre that is expected to be completed next month.”
He said the projects were part of a $40 million, three-year plan to transform the Sunshine Coast and Gold Coast recreation centres as well as Townsville’s Sport and Recreation Precinct.
MP for Caloundra, Jason Hunt said the Sunshine Coast adventure park would inspire local residents and visitors to get active and healthy.
“The Sunshine Coast Recreation Centre is evolving with big focus on inspiring school, sport and recreation groups to challenge limits,” Mr Hunt said.
