Amharc ar fhreagraCoillte Teoranta has looked at the feasibility of locating aerial trail adventure systems in a small number of appropriate locations across the country, which is part of its strategy to improve the recreational facilities it provides and to promote the value of its forest estate as a recreational resource. In this context, Coillte has received proposals from commercial operators on the operation of aerial trail adventure systems on its properties. At Lough Key Forest Park, Co. Roscommon, Jungle Parc has been chosen to operate the facility and has recently applied for planning permission. A number of other proposals are currently being considered.
