What our customers say
Awesome Afternoon
"What a great afternoon we had with Markus and the team. We had a group of 18 adults, male and female, for a friendly competition. We had four rounds of archery battle, where we were actually firing, rubber ended arrows at each other. Painless and fun. Then we went on to classic low bow archery, on a range. We finished off the afternoon at the cafe with great pizza and nice cold beer. Great value, great fun."

Archery is a Safe Activity

Archery Park Limited is run by certified archery coaches and is fully insured with a $2 million public liability insurance. Our Health & Safety info material, including a full risk assessment, will keep your risk and OSH team happy and can be provided upon request.
