A 12-metre climbing and abseiling tower, high ropes course and 100-metre zip line will all be part of a new adventure centre for youngsters.
Construction work IS now underway at the Mill Adventure Base, near Sutton-in-Ashfield, with plans to open at the end of the year.
Kids will have the chance to test their nerve on the 12-metre-tall high ropes course with 13 different obstacles including a rope ladder, seesaw and trapeze jump.
The centre will be open to schools as well as private groups and the climbing and abseiling tower will be made accessible to disabled visitors with a specialist hoist.
Councillor Tracey Taylor, vice chairman of Nottinghamshire County Council’s children and young people’s committee, said: “The new climbing tower and high rope activities will provide a wealth of fun, adventure and challenge for Nottinghamshire young people, nurturing resilience, determination and a sense of accomplishment.
“The project demonstrates the county council’s commitment to investing in our children and young people by creating a facility that will improve the lives of all regardless of their background or ability”.
Nottinghamshire County Council is working on the project with JM Adventure and the Arc Partnership.
The Mill Adventure Base is one of six outdoor centres operated by Notts Outdoors, the outdoor and environmental education service from Nottinghamshire County Council. Their day centres have been awarded the Good To Go Mark, and are currently operating safely with Covid-19 restrictions in place.
