Set in an enchanting green environment filled with birdsong and fresh forest air, the Alsóerdő Sports and Adventure Park welcomes all who seek recreation or active leisure across more than 3 hectares of natural surroundings.

Sports enthusiasts can enjoy a wide range of activities: climbing walls, a training slope for ski practice, outdoor basketball, football and handball courts of excellent quality, and street-workout equipment. Younger children will love the playground, while the traffic park helps them learn the basics of safe road behaviour.

Older children and teenagers can explore entirely new worlds in the virtual gaming zone thanks to VR headsets or even experience skiing in any season with the SkyTechSport ski simulator.
