What is the story behind Pleiades Adventure Park?

I’m a military kid who’s moved many many times and found a home here in delightful North Carolina. I have an active brain, and was always asking “What are we doing now? What do we do next?” I’m an animal lover, and find my perspective always opening when I’m outside (that is, when I’m not running from wasps or being bit by mosquitos lol).

It seems like most everywhere I’ve lived we’ve felt there is a desire for more community and activity areas with diverse activities. I wanted to see a place come to life where I could spend time outside in an unconstructed creative way that would also help me towards goals I had – like being a search & rescue canine handler.

Thus, the idea of Pleiades Adventure Park was born. If I thought of an activity I wanted to do or a concept I wanted to incorporate, I added it to the roster. The idea grew and grew until I realized, this is totally, definitely something I wanted to do.

When I finally burst out with the concept, the reception was amazing. My family and the people I talked to seemed really excited by it!

So, Pleiades Adventure Park will hopefully be a fun, amazing place to get outside and play, and meet whatever goals you have – whether that’s to take a few breaths sitting by the creek with a cuppa, or honing your marathon running skills.

Why the name Pleiades Adventure Park?

The Pleiades has always been my favorite constellation. Not only is it elusive and best seen when you’re not looking directly at it (which I think is a neat paradox!) it’s also easy to find. Also, as a sister, when I learned they were they were called the 7 Sisters, I thought that was cool.
I was contemplating the Adventure Park one day, and the name idea popped into my head. As I mulled it over, I decided to go for it as there were 7 kinds of activities available and 7 stars! Pleiades Adventure Park – A Constellation of Adventurous Activities

What’s the next step?

After I’ve received input, I’ll be collating and incorporating the feedback I receive, and creating an inclusive rough plan from all the ideas.

Then, I’ll be looking into expert and professional opinions from architects, land surveyors, designers and such to help see how to make all the dreams come about.

Hopefully, after this, fundraising and building will make the park a reality!

Why crowdfunding?

I believe in this idea! It is something that has been close to my heart for a long time.

Awesomely, it seems to be an idea that is appealing to many others. While taking out a large loan to get it started is absolutely an option, we all know that unexpected circumstances can arise, businesses can fail, and things don’t always go as planned.

With the key elements of the park paid for by kickstarters & pre-sale tickets, it means that the community’s belief in the park will be well-repaid by not defaulting on a loan, losing the land, or failing to follow through on key elements.

An added bonus of crowdfunding & kickstarting is being able to bring the community in at the ground floor, giving great bonuses to early funders.
