Gloucestershire's 270 Climbing Park thanks team behind £7m project
A GLOUCESTERSHIRE climbing park held a 'thank you event' for supporters of its £7 million development.
The 270 Climbing Park, located between Cheltenham and Gloucester, invited around 45 guests to the private reception, including councillors, planning officers, architects and contractors.
The climbing park's team organised the event as a way of saying thank you to the people who helped the park's development.
It included a canapé lunch and a tour of its new climbing walls, high ropes course, bouldering areas and café.
The park unveiled its two new record-breaking climbing walls, including an 18-metre outdoor wall - the tallest in the UK - and a 17-metre indoor wall with Olympic-standard bouldering.
Councillor Richard Stanley, leader of Tewkesbury Borough Council, said: "The park will be great for tourism and a welcoming attraction for both the local area and the county alike."
David Stevens, director of 270 Climbing Park, said: "We're not just creating a regional attraction, but a world-class venue."
