Company Profile
WildPlay Element Parks
Company Overview
At WildPlay our mission is to engage people in active outdoor adventure experiences - challenging everyone's perception of life's possibilities, and inspiring limitless evolution.
Little platforms way, way above your head. Dozens of ziplines whizzing everywhere. A gravity-powered jump that makes your palms sweat. More suspended ladders, bridges, nets, and obstacle games than you can count. The swing so giant and fast that it makes your vision blur. Some call it crazy, or thrilling – kinda terrifying, or surprisingly intense. We call it WildPlay.
When life feels boring, too cozy, or is just missing something, it’s a signal to push at the edges of your comfort zone. Imagine what a little nudge (or a big ‘ol leap) into a new aerial adventure will bring. Fun? Challenge? Adrenaline? At WildPlay, that’s only the beginning. Let your fear out to play.
WildPlay has parks in British Columbia and Ontario, Canada, with WildPlay John Boyd Thacher scheduled to open in New York State in July 2017.

Company History
As mountain guides, WildPlay Element Parks’ founders, Tom Benson and Gord Ross, discovered the incredible potential of nature-?based wellness. While helping people improve their health through fun, challenging tours, the pair became inspired to spread the benefits of active recreation to as many people as possible.
Establishing the first WildPlay location in 2006, the company has expanded to six North American sites. Each Park is built to suit and enhance its surroundings.
Their vision is realized in the expanding variety of Parks and Elements that WildPlay offers. Activities of various levels of intensity are available in largely untouched spaces, where people from all walks of life – from the curious to the courageous – come and improve their wellbeing.
