WildPlay Element Parks is a Canadian-owned chain of outdoor recreation parks located across British Columbia, Ontario and New York. It is based on Vancouver Island.[1] WildPlay's first park was opened south of Nanaimo, British Columbia in March 2006[2] where the company operates North America's first legal, purpose-made bungee jumping bridge.[3] [4] The bridge stands [5] above the Nanaimo River; over 260,000 people have jumped since the site opened in 1990.[6] The Nanaimo location hosts naked bungee jumping once a year as a fundraiser.[7] [8] Besides bungee jumping, WildPlay parks are made up of treetop activities involving high-ropes and obstacle climbing, swinging, and ziplining.[9] WildPlay is located in Victoria, Maple Ridge, Nanaimo, Niagara Falls, Ontario, Jones Beach State Park and John Boyd Thacher State Park in New York.
