Belfast's Urban Oasis Transforms for Spooky Season, Supporting Vital Conservation Efforts
Colin Glen Forest Park, Belfast's 200-acre "Green Lung," is set to unveil its Fear Forest event this October, marking a bold new direction for the park by blending heart-pounding entertainment with crucial environmental stewardship.
Running from October 11th to 31st, 2024, Fear Forest represents a remarkable transformation for Colin Glen. Colin O'Neil, Park CEO, states, "Fear Forest is not just an event; it symbolises the incredible journey of Colin Glen Forest Park from a polluted tip to a thriving community space. Every ticket sold will help us continue this vital work, ensuring that our beloved park remains a sanctuary for both nature and the people of Belfast."
Fear Forest isn't just about providing Halloween entertainment; it's a crucial initiative to ensure the long-term sustainability of Colin Glen Forest Park. The event will help fund ongoing conservation work, including:
• Planting of native species
• Preservation of local biodiversity
• Maintenance of walking trails and recreational areas
• Educational programs on local flora and fauna
As Belfast's premier outdoor adventure destination, Colin Glen plays a vital role in promoting physical activity and connection with nature. Proceeds from Fear Forest will support:
• Affordable access to outdoor activities for local families
• Maintenance of world-class attractions like Ireland's first Alpine Coaster and longest zipline
• Employment opportunities for local residents
• Environmental education programs for schools
The event will transform Colin Glen's world-class facilities into a Halloween spectacle featuring:
• Ghost Coaster: Ireland's first Alpine coaster, reimagined for spine-tingling night rides
• Night Fall Zip Line: After-dark flights on a 250-metre zipline across the dark forest
• Short Haunted Night Walk: An immersive journey through a lit section of the eerie woodland.
"Fear Forest allows us to showcase the natural beauty of Colin Glen in an exciting new way," says Peter Martin, a Park Director. "By participating, visitors not only get a thrilling Halloween experience but also contribute to the preservation of this 200-acre urban oasis for future generations."
