Treetops Adventure Park in Western Sydney

How much fun is tree climbing?  Kids love it and have tried several of the courses in Sydney and around NSW. Here’s a report from a visit to Treetops Adventure Park Western Sydney. The beaut thing about this course is that there are other fun things to do right beside it so you can really make a day of it.

When they were little my twins really had fun on the children’s courses at Treetops Adventure Park at Plough and Harrow Park in Western Sydney Parklands. For anyone looking for a challenging and adventurous Sydney kids activity, do check this place out.

For the twins, first up was a safety briefing and the careful fitting of helmets.

The children’s helmets are individually adjusted for a safe, comfy fit.

Then, the children can climb and fly around the kids’ courses for two hours.

There is always an instructor around to keep an eye on the children and make sure they follow the basic rules. Only one child is allowed on each challenge or flying fox at a time. The instructor also can assist when kids occasionally get stuck.

We visited on a windy cool day but even in hot weather the trees would provide some shade.

My twins were six and very physical and confident, they absolutely loved this adventure.

The highest part of the course is a platform about four or five metres off the ground. They didn’t bat an eyelid.

Lots of the challenges really are challenging especially the net and the very wobbly walkways.

Just down the hill from Tree Tops is the excellent Plough and Harrow playground, the kids ran and whirled off the last of their energy there.

And there was NO BICKERING in the car going home, a miracle!  They were far too tired. I love days like that. The journey there had been quite a trial!

      Hi there, yes, it’s the same company opening up here in western Sydney. We’ve never been to the ones up on the central coast. One day. Do check out the ice cream recipe posted today – it’s slurpalicious.

      Thanks Jules, this is a good spot. I thought I’d be back these hols to go with the older kids and have a try myself but the time in racing by far too quickly.
