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.

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.

Coming soon to Black Park Country Park is our epic Forest Segway Experience.

The experience was really good, partly becuase of the group I was with and also the weather was extremely good for October (sunny but cold). The team at the Black Park site were very friendly and helpful. I enjoyed the zip wires the most.
Rated 5 Bananas Andrew 24 December 2011
Just very exciting for me and the two 13yr old boys i took. Great fun. Even a little nerve wrecking at times but very well worth it.
Rated 4 Bananas Donna 1 December 2011

I had a wonderful time I was a bit shocked when I climbed the 1st tree rope ladder and was thinking oh my god what have I let myself in for, it was a birthday treat for my twin sons Josh and Alex who were 13 and they bought a freind along too who realy enjoyed it along with my sons, and I thought well I can't let them down so here goes after the 1st tree I was away and I couldn't wait to get to the zipwires which was so much fun which I think was my best bit, overall a good family fun filled day.
