Mote Park Outdoor Adventure, located in Maidstone’s town centre, is currently undergoing a significant expansion. This well-loved adventure spot, featuring a mini-golf course, climbing wall, sky rope trail, and Segway riding, has temporarily closed its doors for up to eight weeks to make way for this exciting upgrade.
The mini-golf course, known as Mini Dino Golf, originally opened in May 2019 and is renowned for its homage to “Iggy” the iguanodon, a beloved resident of the town. The course, currently nine holes, is set to expand to 18 holes with a dino theme and resurfacing, promising a rejuvenated experience for visitors.
The park’s Sky Trail and Climbing Wall will also be affected by this expansion, potentially leading to opening delays until 2024. However, the management has emphasized that this decision was made to ensure the peak period between July and August will showcase the park’s refreshed offerings. An earlier opening is a possibility, depending on construction progress, with the latest expected opening to be the weekend of the 6th and 7th of July.
Those eager to experience the newly renovated adventure park can mark their calendars for Friday, June 7, when the booking system will go live. Tickets will be priced at £4.50 for children and £6.50 for adults. This upgrade, generously funded by Maidstone council, Maidstone Leisure Trust, and Serco Leisure, reflects their commitment to supporting the local community and enhancing leisure opportunities for residents and visitors alike.
This significant development is part of a broader initiative to improve leisure facilities in Maidstone, with plans recently being announced for a new Splash Pad at Maidstone Leisure Centre. The Aztec-themed “mini-water park” is anticipated to feature slides, water cannons, and various interactive elements, as well as improvements to the soft play area, gym equipment, and cafe.
With the future looking promising for leisure enthusiasts in Maidstone, these upgrades will undoubtedly provide exciting, family-friendly entertainment for years to come.
