Mercer County Exec. Brian M. Hughes wants Mercer County Park visitors to know that the unusual-looking structure being built across the road from the Festival Grounds is the first leg of construction of a new ropes course and zip line area.
Park users will be able to take an aerial adventure crossing bridges, balancing on ropes, climbing through obstacles, and riding the zip line. The ropes course will offer various levels of difficulty for children and adults alike.
“We are constantly looking for ways to attract new users to our park system and stay on the cutting edge of outdoor recreation offerings, so I’m excited that our Mercer County Park Commission under Executive Director Aaron T. Watson, advanced this project,” Mr. Hughes said.
“I’m confident it will be well received and be another economic generator in our long list of active recreation amenities. Watch for its opening this summer.”
