An adventure park is a place which can contain a wide variety of elements, such as rope climbing exercises, obstacle courses and zip- lines. They are usually intended for recreation.
"Recreational-oriented" adventure parks are usually designed for a larger volume of visitors. They do not follow a specific educational concept, but see the individual, physical and mental challenge as a predominantly recreational activity. Neither climbing techniques nor special/specific physical fitness experience are necessary. Typical slogans are: Have Fun, Test your Courage, Overcome your Own Fears, Be Outside, Be in the Nature, Do some Physical Activities, etc.
History
It is unclear where and when the first ropes course was created. A ropes course was built in 1875 in France and functioned mainly as a physical challengeactivity for the participants. During the Second World War, ropes courses were used as obstacle courses for improving the physical fitness of the British military.
In the mid- 1960s, ropes courses became a central component of outdoor seminars in the United States.
