You want treetop outdoor adventures in a city park? Come to Central Connecticut!

Connecticut > Hartford Central > Outdoor Activities > Outdoor Adventures
The more remote areas of New England do not have a monopoly on outdoor fun. Anyplace you see a patch of open grass and sky – that includes within Connecticut’s lovely city parks – you see potential for adventure in the outdoors. Put a little zip in your life with a zip line adventure in a Connecticut park. Instructors get adults and kids set up with harnesses, pulleys and lines, then…zip it! Rope ladders, net bridges, and Tarzan swings create a feeling of flight and exploration in a treetop canopy. Your kids will think of “playing on the swings” in a whole new light. Not just for little kids anymore!
