The main goal of the Outdoor + Active Project is to encourage greater tourism in the South West and to promote better access to sport and the countryside. We will achieve this by constructing brand new on land activities to accompany our already popular watersports.
The exciting project will be rolled out over 6 rural sites in the South West including, Roadford Lake Country Park, Tamar Lakes Country Park, Stithians Lake Country Park, Wimbleball Lake Country Park, Siblyback Lake Country Park and Lopwell Dam.
The new activities include indoor and outdoor climbing walls, new traffic free cycle routes, high ropes courses, archery ranges, education and interpretation centres, improved changing facilities, a cable ski system, an electric passenger ferry and paddle beaches. Once complete we will have a fantastic range of all weather fun.
• Stithians - new on-land and water activities - including a paddle beach- and improved refreshment and reception
• Siblyback - new on and off-water activities, new showers and changing rooms, introductory off-road cycle route
• Roadford - new on and off-water activities, new changing rooms, event-boat parking, electrically-powered ferry/wildlife boat trips, introductory off-road cycle route
• Lopwell - environmental education and visitor interaction with wildlife and venue for volunteer tourism, and
• Wimbleball - new on and off-water activities, new changing rooms, boat parking for events, winter training camps, introductory off-road cycle routes
The construction works are already underway on several sites so you will be able to see the activities rolling out throughout 2010 and 2011 with the majority of work complete by the end of the summer 2011.
