WildPlay Element Parks Nanaimo
WildPlay Nanaimo
The site of North America's first legal bungee jump, where you leap from the Nanaimo River Canyon bridge. The park also has aerial forest trails.
The WildPlay Nanaimo park lies beside the Nanaimo River, about 15 kilometres south of the city. In 1990 it opened North America's first legal commercial bungee platform here. Its signature activity is jumping from a bridge about 46 metres high into the Nanaimo River. The park also offers treetop rope courses, high swings and zip lines, suitable for different ages. Bungee jumping must be booked in advance on the official website, and there are weight and age limits. Book early for busy weekends in peak season. Even if you do not want to jump, you can watch from the viewing area and enjoy the canyon and river scenery.
