Ropes Course & Zip Line Opens September 10 in Mercer County, NJ

I know you've been patiently waiting for this and it's almost time.

Mercer County has announced that its new, really cool Ropes Course & Zip Line in Mercer County Park (West Windsor) is about to open to the public.

This Sunday, September 10th will be the big day. Registration is now open.

It certainly looks impressive, doesn't it? This is exciting. I know many residents looking for a thrill can't wait to try it out.

A few members of the Mercer County Park Commission volunteered to test it out recently and gave it the thumbs up.

The course is pretty high up. Executive Director, Aaron T. Watson loved it saying, "I felt like I was amongst the trees and got a fantastic bird's eye view of Mercer Lake. Along with our campgrounds and our outdoor exercise equipment, I'm proud to add this additional feature to Mercer County Park."

The course will be open starting on Sunday to all those 12 and older.

It features 12 different challenges for you to tackle including the Zigzag, Swinging Logs, and the Postman's Walk.
