About

GreenWood Forest Park at Y Felinheli on Anglesey's mainland edge is North Wales's leading family park, with a focus on green credentials β€” its Green Dragon roller coaster is the world's only people-powered coaster, lifted to the launch by a counterweight system that runs on visitor footfall. Add the SkyRide aerial slide, the Solar Splash water boats (powered by the largest solar panel in Wales), Jumper bouncing pillows and the LongBow archery range, and it's a full day for under-12s. Set in an oak woodland the family planted over 20 years.
