It’s time for some monkey business in the capital with the launch of Go Ape Battersea Park.
The London landmark becomes the popular high-ropes company’s 29th site in the UK, and the first that is not in a forest environment.
Set in the heart of the park, it combines a Tree Top Adventure and a Tree Top Junior course for mini Tarzans. The experiences are physically challenging with the highest obstacle crossings double the height and many twice as long as the usual Go Ape courses.
Go Ape Battersea Park features over 40 crossings in total – laid out in a straight line they would cover over 730metres – and includes a 50-metre zip wire.
The company’s Tristram Mayhew said: “Go Ape is all about creating accessible adventures so bringing the experience to a city is a big milestone for us. We’ve long wanted to create a high-wire tree-top adventure in the centre of London and we’re thrilled to see our first visitors going up in the trees.
“There’s already a real buzz and sense of excitement and we’re looking forward to welcoming many more Londoners over the coming months and seeing if they’re up to our new challenge.”
