Cape Nature Recreation Park
Cape Nature Recreation Park is an outdoor leisure and activity park in Pradines, a small town near Cahors in the Lot department of France. It offers activities in the trees, on the ground, and on the water, ranging from climbing and zip-lining to paintball, mini-golf, kayaking, and water skiing.
The land was formerly farmland before it was turned into a recreation park. This change reflects a wider trend in rural France of opening natural spaces for outdoor leisure and tourism.
Visitors to the park can choose between tree climbing, water sports on the river, and games on open ground. The activities are set up so that both young children and adults can take part together.
The park is in Pradines and easy to reach by car or bicycle, with parking available on site. Visitors who arrive by public transport or bicycle can get a discount on some activities, so it is worth checking before you go.
Every Thursday evening in summer, the park runs night tree climbing courses and nighttime orienteering in the dark. These evening sessions give the forest a very different feel compared to a daytime visit.
