WHAT IS BARWON PARK?

Screen Shot 2021-07-17 at 3.58.46 pm.png

A fun family destination where everyone can learn to waterski, wakeboard and kneeboard.

Similar to a T-bar at a ski resort, the electrically powered towing system runs in a continuous circuit, towing the riders across a body of water and replacing the need for a boat.

The easiest and most affordable way to learn a new watersport or for the experienced participant to progress their skills.

Powered by a small electric motor, the system is virtually silent, producing roughly 55dB

Blending into normal - outdoor ambient noise levels.

ABOUT US

LOCAL BENEFITS

At its roots the facility will be focused on building community through sport by encouraging new participants to get involved and by providing a facility that encourages people to get outside, try something new, and to have fun!

Wakeboard and Waterski Cable Parks are an investment in environmentally- friendly and affordable, sustainable family recreation which provide engagement with the local community and beyond, supporting all-ages healthy lifestyles.

Considering its location in the City of Greater Geelong, we anticipate that the facility will complement and enhance local summer sports tourism as part of a growing and diversified four season economy, adding to the unique cultural and natural qualities of the community.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTION'S
Are cable parks loud?

No. The cable system operates using small electric motors. On each of the two "straight line" cables there is a 10kw electric motor (similar to a washing machine), and the "full size cable" (donut pond) uses a 30kw electric motor. The system operates at 55dB at the base of each motor tower, and are virtually silent once you are 5-6 metres away as the sound dissipates.

To put that into perspective, a typical AC unit operates at between 50-75dB.

​

Is it difficult to learn?

Absolutely not!

 

Cable systems are the easiest way to learn how to waterski, wakeboard or kneeboard, and our friendly and helpful coaches will be able to get you up on the water in no time.

 

All ages fun for the whole family!

 

Are there other parks like this?

There are over 1000 Cable Parks in the world! Over 80 in Germany alone.

Currently in Australia there are eight full size cable parks. Perth, Sydney, Brisbane, Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, Cairns, Mackay and the closest in Melbourne.

 

Is the park good for the area?

We think that this would be a great addition to the already amazing Geelong and Bellarine Peninsula! Considering its location, we anticipate that the facility will complement and enhance local summer sports tourism as part of a growing and diversified four season economy, adding to the unique cultural and natural qualities of the community. It will also boost local jobs creating greater employment opportunities in our region with approximately 60 full time positions and over 100 construction jobs.
