TREETOP explorers can head to Heaton Park for an aerial adventure.

Next to Treetop Nets, which launched in May, Treetop Trek will open its zip wires on Saturday.

A lower and shorter Mini Trek is available for those aged five and up and lasts one to two hours.

It is the biggest treetop adventure course of its kind in the UK and features more than 20 different zip wires, from which trekkers can glide through the tree canopy from a height of just under 50 feet.

It boasts 35 obstacle challenges including balance bars, swinging logs and Indiana bridges.

Mike Turner, managing director of Treetop Trek, said: “It is a fantastic feeling to finally be able to announce the completion of both Treetop Trek and Treetop Nets in Manchester.

“This is the culmination of months of hard-work and now we can look forward to welcoming Manchester’s families throughout the summer and beyond.”

A spokesman for Manchester City Council said: “We are delighted to be able to announce the opening of the full Treetop Trek experience at Heaton Park.

“Treetop Trek is a fantastic family activity that puts spending time outdoors at the forefront of its values and we’re proud to now have the Treetop experience in the heart of Manchester.”
