The popular TECT All Terrain adventure park is opening the doors to most of its activities, features and clubs this Sunday.

Park manager Bill Wheeler says the open day is about encouraging people to try new activities, explore the park, get a little adrenalin rush or simply explore with family and friends.

'The Park's been open for almost seven years now – and in that time we've added a huge number of activities and clubs, all offering exciting and interesting opportunities to try out. Some of our clubs are looking for new members while others love to share their passion with others,” says Bill.

'It's going to be a fun, action-filled day for sure.”

Bill encourages people to bring a picnic lunch as food isn't available at the Park. There will be a fundraising sausage sizzle with hot drinks taking cash only.

Entry to the event is free and there will be free shuttle rides within the Park for the duration of the event. Some ‘have a go' activities will have a charge to cover club costs. Again, visitors should bring cash.

Free parking and bus rides will be available from Aquinas College. The first bus will leave Aquinas College at 9.30am and a more detailed timetable will be available on the Park's website.

Dogs are welcome but must be on a leash unless exercising in the Off-Leash Dog Exercise Area. Parking will be limited, people are advised to take advantage of the free bus and shuttles. Cellphone coverage is minimal.

The TECT All Terrain Park open day takes place on Sunday, March 26, from 10am-4pm.
