Overlook Adventure Park to open April 1

DECATUR, Ill. (WAND) – Several facilities, including a high ropes course, will be open to the public starting Saturday, April 1.

WAND’s Meredith Hackler got a first-hand look (see video above) at the new rope-themed obstacle course. While the heights can be dizzying, participants can rest assured they will be secured thanks to a harness required for wearing by those on the high ropes course.

In addition to the high ropes at Overlook Adventure Park, the mini golf course will also be open beginning Saturday. Opening day hours run from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., weather permitting.
