An indoor adventure course inspired by the TV show Ninja Warrior has officially opened its doors in Watford.

The Ninja Warrior UK Adventure Park opened in Woodside Leisure Park on Thursday and is the first of its kind in the region.

The child friendly course features a mix of adrenalin-fuelled TV show-style courses and inflatable runs inspired by the family favourite programme.

Plenty of people turned out for the opening today, including Sky Sports TV pundit Chris Kamara and Watford MP Dean Russell.

Both joined the Watford Observer in a Facebook live video, where they spoke about the course and even challenged each other to a race.

What can you expect from the course?

The 23,000ft squared indoor facility, inside the former Gambado play area, includes obstacles to climb, balance, jump and swing across, as well the famous Warped Wall, and is open to all age groups.

Wannabe Ninjas will need to preserve some extra energy to tackle the additional inflatable course complete with big red bouncy balls, tunnels, battle zone and the ultimate airbag leap to race through.

And if all that’s too much, the Ninja Café is a great place to watch and refuel.

“The opening is fantastic, it’s great everyone is happy and they like to be here.”

Mr Russell added: “It’s great to see new businesses coming to Watford, especially within the hospitality sector.

“I’ve been a huge fan of ninja warrior for many years so it’s great fun to see it in real life and also see so many people come to the opening event.”
