Australia’s largest high wire park for junior adventurers has opened at Woombye.
The TreeTop Challenge Junior Adventure Park is spread over 1.2 hectares of rainforest and it boasts five courses featuring rope bridges, flying foxes, swings and jumps.
The park, for kids aged up to 10, opened on the weekend and it complements the existing adventure park for ages 8-and-over at the Big Pineapple.
General Manager David Taylor was thrilled with it.
“It will be a hit with Sunshine Coast residents and visitors alike,” he said.
“Thanks to Queensland Government support, we’ve not only come through last year’s COVID-related problems but created a truly unique and exciting adventure experience that families will love,” Mr Taylor said.
The junior park was backed by the State Government, with $500,000 from the Growing Tourism Infrastructure Fund.
“TreeTop Challenge Junior Adventure Park is a great addition to the Sunshine Coast’s growing line-up of visitor attractions,” Member for Nicklin Rob Skelton said.
“The Sunshine Coast has always been a family-friendly destination with a relaxed holiday lifestyle and outdoor experiences that everybody can enjoy.
“With more than 50 adventures to keep pint-sized explorers and their families engaged and entertained, they will want to return to TreeTop Challenge Junior again and again.
“TreeTop Challenge Junior Adventure Park has potential to encourage another 15,000 visitors to explore the Sunshine Coast.
