Six Courses in the Canopy: Gaston’s Original Aerial Obstacle Park
Six self-guided aerial courses set high in the trees—this guide explains the age, gear and course progression you need to plan a safe, full-day visit to Tree to Tree Adventure Park.
Six Courses in the Canopy: Gaston’s Original Aerial Obstacle Park.
Tree to Tree Adventure Park in Gaston stakes a simple claim: it was the West Coast’s first aerial obstacle course. Suspended among the trunks are six distinct, self-guided courses that stitch together more than 60 individual challenges—Tarzan swings, balance beams, ladders, wobbly bridges, tightropes—and a network of zip lines that open as you progress. Trained guides remain nearby while every participant is secured in a harness for the duration, making the park both an intro to canopy movement and a laddered test for those who want to push higher.

West Coast Pioneer
Tree to Tree Adventure Park holds the distinction of being the West Coast’s first aerial obstacle course—six courses high in the trees that together deliver a variety of challenges suitable for many ages and group types.
Six Self-Guided Levels, 60+ Obstacles
Courses range from low, stable beginner routes to higher, more technical lines; over 60 obstacles include Tarzan swings, tight ropes and balance features, with 16 zip lines becoming available as you move through the upper parts of the park.
Built for Groups and Family Days
The park is explicitly set up for families, groups and team-building—activities are self-guided with staff on hand to assist, and party and group packages are offered for occasions from birthdays to corporate outings.
What the day feels like
What the day feels like
Arrival begins with a short check-in and harness fitting; once clipped in, parties thread progressively harder circuits at their own pace. Early routes are more stable and closer to the ground to build confidence; as comfort grows, climbers choose higher lines and access the park’s zip lines. The result is a modular day of climbing, balance work and short, focused bursts of adrenaline punctuated by rest at ground-level picnic areas.
