A new ropes course facility is set to open at Upton Hill Regional Park sometime in June, amid an expected spike in park visitor activity.
“It’s going to be the biggest and the best in the mid-Atlantic region,” said Paul Gilbert, the executive director of NOVA Parks, of the new ropes course. NOVA Parks runs Upton Hill, which is located at 6060 Wilson Blvd near Seven Corners.
Climb UPton will have 90 different elements on three different levels, including zip lines and a 50-foot drop. It will be open to those who are 49 inches or taller.
Construction on the course is largely complete but work, subject to changing weather, continues on an administrative building, Gilbert said. Once more work is complete, NOVA Parks will set a user fee and pick an opening date, which the executive director expects will be in mid- to late- June.

OCONTO – Less than a day after City Council members voted to discontinue maintaining Copper Culture State Park unless a new contract was in place with the state by the end of the year, the Department of Natural Resources is poised to come to the table.
The city and a DNR official confirmed Thursday that they are planning to negotiate a new deal to replace the one that expired at the end of 2010.
However, statements from both sides illustrate differences of opinion on how things reached this point and on the structure of the lapsed agreement.
City officials said it was frustration that led them to take the action at the April 13 Committee of the Whole meeting, saying they had tried periodically for years to get the DNR to update the contract.
