Let’s play at the Sandbox at Alviera Porac Pampanga
Summer is definitely here! Time to put on some cool comfortable clothes, splash in some sunblock and let’s get active at the outdoors. A new attraction has popped up in Porac, Pampanga. The SandBox Alviera, within the 1.125 hectare property of Alviera, is a giant playground for both the young and the young at heart. It got some unique rides and activities geared for group of friends, families or even corporations. We recently get to try these rides just before its public opening this April 12, 2014. And I got a treat for you guys. Read on!
The 10-meter high Giant Swing
SandBox Attractions
Not minding the bearing sun, I and my companions quickly lined up for the rides which attracted us most. The Giant Swing was the first. Standing 10-meters high, it is the country’s tallest swing! I thought it would be simple but my adrenaline started pumping when they started pulling me up almost parallel to front frame and everything went crazy from the sudden release and let gravity take its action. The next second I was in the midst of a dry scream looking straight into the sky. It was really fun.
Climbing wall at the Adventure Tower
I also wanted to try the Avatar One, the Philippine’s first roller coaster zipline but it wasn’t in operation yet. Maybe next time. I just contented watching people negotiate the 5-storey Adventure tower for a slew of height-challenging activities like wall climbing, rappelling and a free fall.
The Aerial Walk
I also checked out the Pump Track, a vast 5,000 sqm mountain bike obstacle course to test your cycling skills. Nearby are the ATVs and Buggies. I got to try part of the original 40 minute trail and it was wild, dusty and thrilling as well.
The Aerial Walk Challenge may look simple, but the obstacle course does challenge one’s balance , agility and flexibility.
