TreeClimb Salisbury is the first attraction of its kind in northern Adelaide and has four of the longest ziplines in South Australia.
Think high ropes obstacles, set in a picturesque location, providing a unique environment that safely challenges, educates and excites thrill-seekers, nature enthusiasts, and curious adventurers.
Review by Carla Caruso
It’s hard to believe that you’re not on an interstate or overseas holiday as you watch your kids fly through the treetops on a zipline at this brand-new aerial adventure park.
TreeClimb Salisbury officially opens to the public from 27 December 2024 – the first of its kind in northern Adelaide.
The adventure park joins two other South Australian TreeClimb locations – in the Adelaide CBD and Kuitpo Forest. The SA-owned company is also set to expand interstate in 2025.
So, what’s special about the Salisbury Park course? A ton!
Located at Harry Bowey Reserve, the adventure park is home to four of South Australia’s looooooongest ziplines.
Adventure seekers are in for an exhilarating experience, with ziplines up to 150 metres long and platforms soaring 11 metres above the ground.
The ziplines altogether total over one kilometre in length and are woven into the park’s natural environment, along with suspended obstacle courses high in the tree canopy.
Session times include being fitted with harnessing, a safety briefing, and a try on the practice course. After this, you (or your kids) are free to climb, swing and soar through the trees.
Each experience is made up of multiple courses, all of which contain different high ropes obstacles and ziplines, offering differing challenges. The grand courses have a minimum height requirement of 135cm, and the kids’ courses, 100cm.
Parents and kids can also climb together with a ‘family experience’ booking (minimum height 125cm).
Gloves are mandatory on all courses and are available for purchase or climbers can bring their own.
When I asked my 11-year-old twins what they enjoyed most about the experience, they practically shouted “the ziplines”.
Alessio said: “The ziplines are really fun and the obstacles are sometimes challenging but still very fun.”
While I’m not a fan of heights myself, it was no problem for my boys. They swung through the air like monkeys and were eager to go back for more and try various routes.
Once you’re done – and you’ve worked up an appetite – you can also enjoy a DIY picnic in the parklands or purchase some treats from the onsite café. (Party packages are on offer too.)
Harry Bowey Reserve was chosen as a venue due to its picturesque location, facilities (including toilets and a playground), abundant parking, and picnic areas. Community access to the park remains unaffected, and tree health is said to be a priority, with a comprehensive arborist survey conducted before construction and ongoing monitoring to follow.
If you’ve been wanting to give TreeClimb a go, now’s the time. Experience nature from a whole new perspective like you never have before!
