Black Park Country Park

(Buckinghamshire)

Near Slough

Set in 530 acres of beautiful woodland with a centre-piece lake.

One of the best days out in Buckinghamshire: Breathtaking scenery; tree top high wires, crossings and wind-in-your-face zip wires; finished off with a liberal dose of people in search of their inner Tarzan.

Black Park Country Park boasts the perfect tree-tops to monkey around in, plus there are plenty of other things to do so forest-lovers can enjoy a great day out.

Or why not extend your day and get on yer bike at Black Park Country Park. Go Ape! Forest Biking is the perfect way to make the most of your day after you’ve swung in the trees.

Get off the beaten track and enjoy our latest forest adventure with Go Ape! Forest Segway – an epic NEW experience with a down to earth twist.

Awesome. Just wish I could havre tried the Segways

I loved crossing the element with metal rings. It was a fabulously physical and mental challenge that really pushed my comfort zone!
Rated 4 Bananas Oonagh 14 May 2012
All the group enjoyed the experience, even those of us who were a little bit nervous about heights. The way the course got progressively more tricky was very good and we didn't have to wait at any stage. It was lovely to be in Black Park Country Park which was beautiful.

It was great! Much fun, would like more of the Tarzan swings!
Rated 4 Bananas Tiffany 14 May 2012
Basically it was good, but I would have liked to be a bit *more* - the segways are curious things but they need to go faster! They're pleasant to meander about on.... but if they could go faster though it would be more fun, otherwise it just gets a bit boring after a while. Same for the trees really... I'd prefer it all to be a bit higher... the tarzan swings to be a bit bigger... the zip lines to be faster... personally I'd prefer the obstacles/crossings in the trees to be a bit easier, and the whole thing to be about 3 times as high.
