“Aerial park” to open at The Discovery Museum.

Southport-based Outdoor Ventures Group is on track to open in July what it calls Connecticut’s first “aerial adventure park” at The Discovery Museum in Bridgeport

The Adventure Park at The Discovery Museum is set on five acres of woodland in Veteran’s Park in Bridgeport, and will feature more than 100 treetop platforms connected by zip lines and suspension bridges.

Groups of bridges link together to form eight “aerial trails” throughout the trees, with varying levels of difficulty. Participants wear harnesses, which are doubly secured to safety cables using the park”™s “always locked on” climbing system of interlocking carabineers, according to Outdoor Ventures Group.

Outdoor Ventures Group has established similar parks in Hillsdale, N.Y. and Sandy Spring, Md.
