Communication is essential in teamwork. For example, in the park’s pop-the-balloon game, you are required to be blindfolded. Thus, you have to rely on your teammates to assist and direct you to pop the balloon using a stick with only verbal instructions.

Another game that highlights the importance of teamwork to attain a goal involves everyone in your team holding on to ends of strings that are all tied together to support a tennis ball, and to safely place the tennis ball onto a pole.
While this may seem easy, ultimately, coordination and communication among the fellow team members will determine whether they succeed in this game.

Head over to the inflatable water park while you’re there. Challenge your friends or colleagues to see who can make it across the entire course the fastest. Don’t let the vibrant colours fool you – the obstacles will test your agility, strength and balance to move from one platform to the other.
The tricky part is to succeed at doing all three at the same time. Just be prepared to be sent flying into the water every few minutes.
While you are at the park, don’t forget to check out some of their free amenities.

Feel the adrenaline rush kick in as you plunge into the water with your friends from a wooden bridge. Daredevils can then attempt to climb up a 4m inflatable wall on the lake before diving straight into the water or maybe just take in the scenic view from up there.
