Themed Adventure Golf Design Transforms West Virginia Park into Regional Attraction

When Lewis County leadership set out to expand their community park, they had a clear vision: build something that would serve their 17,000 residents while drawing visitors from across West Virginia and beyond. 

The park already offered recreational activities, but the team were looking for something distinctive to put Lewis County on the map as a must-visit destination while supporting multigenerational recreation and bringing families together outdoors. 

That’s when Greenspan came in. 

Bringing the Vision to Life 

Lewis County approached Greenspan to deliver a turnkey solution from design through installation. The result was an outdoor adventure experience featuring: 

• 18-hole adventure mini golf course 

• High ropes course with ziplines. 

• Integrated water feature designed as part of the landscape 

The high ropes course sits directly above the adventure golf creating a unique, integrated experience that combines adventure and play in one space.

Honoring West Virginian Heritage 

The design reflects West Virginia’s identity at every turn. The adventure golf course design features a cave, waterfall and bridge, while hand-carved wooden animals highlight local wildlife. Heritage elements, including a coal mine cart, railroad signage and a water wheel, enrich the experience, resonating with residents, and leaving a lasting impression on the visitors. 

Working with the Terrain 

The site presented a unique challenge: building on the side of a hill rather than flat ground. Careful engineering was needed to manage drainage and ensure the water feature flowed naturally downhill, maintaining both safety and functionality 

Welcoming Families and Visitors 

Since opening in October 2025, the Extreme Adventure section at Lewis County Park has attracted more visitors and drawn interest from surrounding counties. 

The attractions advance the county’s goals for community recreation, outdoor engagement, and tourism, creating a family-friendly destination that brings people together and highlights all that Lewis County has to offer.
