Adventure park explained

An adventure park is a place which can contain a wide variety of elements, including but not limited to, rope climbing exercises, obstacle courses, bouldering, rock climbing, target oriented activities, and zip-lines. They are usually intended for recreation.

Related outdoor activities

A ropes course can be considered a challenging outdoor personal development and team-building activity.^{[1] [2]} Some parks offer both - a recreational section and a team building section.

A canopy tour is a specific type of ziplining where a person is harnessed to a steel cable and propelled by gravity from platform to platform high up in the trees of a thick forest canopy. Although these have previously been used for civil and even scientific uses, it has since become a popular activity for the recreation and tourism industries.^[3]

Safety systems

The safety equipment for each participant consists of a harness, a lanyard and a belay device.^[4] Helmets or gloves can also be used.^{[5] [6]}
