sport outdoor adventure Shame to waste all that fresh air. We offer a wide range of white-knuckle activities to turn our great outdoors into one big adventure playground. Motor Safari do the lot. Rally skid driving, offroading, power boating, falconry, whitewater rafting. As featured on “Top Gear”, “Blue Peter” and “The Holiday Programme” among many others. The climbing wall at Plas Power Adventure should also get your adrenalin going. It’s big more than 6,000 square feet. And it’s very popular with kids. Who often outstrip their parents. Both here and on the ropes course – which contains a 100-foot zip wire, an abseil platform and something worryingly known as “the leap of faith”. 01978 754533 www.motor-safari.co.uk 01978 754747 www.plaspoweradventure.com football and rugby Our very own theatre of dreams. The Racecourse is home to Wrexham Football Club - giantkillers who have accounted for the likes of Arsenal, Spurs and even FC Porto over the years – and Super League rugby team Crusaders. It’s the world’s oldest current international football stadium. And it hosts rugby league 28
North Wales Regional Tennis Centre (left) and The Racecourse and rugby union internationals, too. In fact, World Cup games in all three sports have been played here. Plas Kynaston Lane at Cefn Mawr may have a comparatively modest capacity of 2,000. But it’s home to the oldest football club in Wales, Cefn Druids. Once conquerors of mighty Bolton Wanderers in the FA Cup of 1882 and now playing in the Welsh Premier League. The Racecourse 01978 262129 Cefn Druids 01978 824279 tennis We love our tennis. And not just during Wimbledon fortnight. The six indoor and 10 outdoor courts at the North Wales Regional Tennis Centre in Wrexham are international-class. Our coaches will help you live up to them. Any time you fancy a knockabout, you can play at the courts at Acton Park and Bellevue Park in Wrexham or Ponciau Park in Rhos. Absolutely free. North Wales Regional Tennis Centre 01978 265260 athletics Top athletes come to Queensway Stadium. Including Wales’s own Olympic stars Colin Jackson, Jamie Baulch, Iwan Thomas and Christian Malcolm. But it also hosts school sports days and local fun runs. And it’s the home of Wrexham Athletics Club, who help budding stars from eight years upwards to get in shape. Queensway Stadium 01978 355826 leisure centres Waterworld Want to keep everything looking trim – including your bank balance? Just flash the Pure card at one of our leisure centres. It will save you 20% on most activities including swimming, gym sessions and fitness classes. Waterworld, as you might have guessed, is an aquatic centre. With a 25-metre competition pool, a learner pool, a 65-metre flume and a rapid-river ride. Which should liven you up nicely. In the Tropical Lagoon at Plas Madoc, you can walk the surf, ride the crocodile, slide down the snake and play in the waves. And you can let the kids have a go as well, if you must. Chirk has a pool, too. The perfect place to cool down after a stint in the sauna or steam room. A game of squash. Or a little Tae Kwon Do.
