Ziplining at Nature's Park

Nature's Park is nature park located at Agus 6/7 HEPC, Fuentes, Maria Cristina, Iligan City. It is a project of National Power Corporation Mindanao Generation. It is still in the process of making today. It has a lot of sightings and activities for nature loving people and those who want to explore nature such as hanging bridge, wall climbing, zip lining, crocodile park, white water rafting and a lot more.

On October 2009, our family invited our church mates to Nature's Park to try zip lining and wall climbing. Although it is still not open to the public, my mother was able to ask the staff to assemble the zip lining because she is an employee of the National Power Corporation.

I first tried zip lining. A zip-line consists of a pulley suspended on a cable mounted on an incline. It is designed to enable a user propelled by gravity to traverse from the top to the bottom of the inclined cable, usually made of stainless steel, by holding on or attaching to the freely moving pulley. When it was my turn to try the zipline, I was nervous and at the same time excited. When I traversed form the top to the bottom of the inclined cable, I was in awe of my surroundings. When you look up, you see the infinite sky. When you look left and right, you see the beautiful surroundings. And, when you look down you see the river carried by its current flowing very fast.

 

After that moment, I traversed back and forth whenever the zip line is free. That day was very memorable for me. It was a very rich, rewarding and breathtaking experience in all my life.
