"World Class Facility....."

A group from Hong Kong visited the Adventure Park recently and provided their feedback to us starting with "World Class Facility".  The group told us that they found the staff to be attentive and friendly with safety as a top priority.

It's so nice to receive comments from our Guests and we appreciate their time in sharing their experiences with us.  What stood out for us in the comments of this particular groups was this....

"....perfect for Corporate groups or organizations looking for creative ways to bring their Executives out of their comfort zones....".  One of the key benefits of the Adventure Park is that it drives team building and effective communication as it provides guests an opportunity to work collarboratively to successfully navigate their team members through the courses.

A great story.....

We recently received some great feedback from a group who challenged the Adventure Park courses and wanted to share it with you....

....We were a party of five ranging in age from 59 to 75, from Ottawa and the local area. We found the obstacle courses to be very challenging and the ziplines to be fun and enjoyable. We loved the natural setting of the Park. The Staff were awesome, caring, kind, patient, ...knowledgeable, well-trained, encouraging and FUN! It is because of their support that we were able to complete the courses and ziplines.

.....We are happy that we did indeed choose to spend the day at the park. Thank you to the staff for making this a very enjoyable experience.

Thank you to this group for sharing their experience with us and providing feedback, we appreciate it very much. We look forward to having you back and are sure our staff enjoyed you as much as you enjoyed them!

Adventure Update

We would like to provide you with an important update for the Adventure Park.

With all the test runs now completed on the ziplines at the Adventure Park, we have determined a change in height to 5 feet 4 inches (1.6 meters) is required. This change is necessary to ensure the safety and comfort of participants and will allow secure fastening of equipment and provide the momentum needed to traverse the courses.

We are drawing closer to the Grand Opening and are looking forward to seeing many participants come out for a taste of adventure and challenge!!

The Green Course at the Adventure Park is just about ready to receive its first test run. The team from Prisme Equipment Canada, which includes five technicians, has been keeping busy deploying and installing the twenty pallets of material throughout the forest and up onto the trees.
