In order help minimize the spread of Covid-19, our Outdoor Recreation programs will be making different adjustments in order to keep our staff and participants safe.
As of May 4, 2020, we still plan to open our Lead, Explore and Grow program out at our ropes course starting June 1, 2020 with modifications and adjustments in order to follow CDC and Cole County Health Department guidelines. Our program has always been flexible and we will continue to offer flexible options for our groups as long as we can provide a safe environment for staff and participants.
It is important for participants to understand that while being out at the Ropes Course we can continue to accept group bookings so long as the group is comfortable with each other and the nature of our program:
-Participating in team building activities and low course elements requires participants and staff to be within 6 ft. of each other for safety purposes and to achieve the goals of the program.
-Participating in High Ropes, climbing wall and zip line activities requires participants to wear helmets, harnesses and belay devices that have been worn by other participants. Please note that staff has always and will continue to thoroughly clean ALL equipment used by participants. We will also take the extra precaution of cleaning of certain equipment on the courses themselves.
-Participants are encouraged but not required to wear face masks. Staff will wear face masks/shields in certain circumstances where they are required to be within 6 feet of participants.
-Hand Sanitizer will be provided.
-Participants are asked to provide their own water bottles in order to prevent the same usage of water coolers.

The LEG program (lead, explore and grow) is JC Park’s newest outdoor adventure activity. This program gives people of all ages the opportunity to step out of their comfort zone at Binder Park on the ropes course. Individuals are challenged to step-up and lead group members through different low, high and aerial obstacle elements. We will push participants to explore all different avenues to solving group problems and course challenges by thinking outside of the box while working on effective communication skills. As participants complete the different activities on the various course elements, you will grow as an individual as well as with your group members in all sorts of ways! It is our hope that groups and participants can use what they experienced with us at this program outside of the course in the workplace, at home, with friends or other group situations.
Are you looking for your next outdoor group outing? LEG’s program is the perfect activity! Groups of 10-30 participants are able to rent out the course throughout the months of June - November during an agreed upon day with the Program Manager, Alexis Kerman. LEG programming has the flexibility to tailor group activities at the course so that each group can accomplish their own goals whether that’s working on teamwork, communication skills, building confidence, experiencing new outdoor activities or simply having fun!
All different groups can sign up for LEG. We can create programs for birthday parties, friend outings, school groups and corporate groups. How does it work? Call Jefferson City Parks and Recreation to talk with the Program Manager, Alexis Kerman, about the needs and desires of your group to, plan, book and then enjoy your time out at our course on your selected date/time. The length of your group’s rope course and team building activities will depend on what the group wants to do as part of LEG. This means your group can do just the high ropes, low ropes, climbing wall, zip line, team building ground activities or all of them! We want to promote a fun and positive environment where your group can learn to lead, explore and grow together while you are on our course.
