This Mom is not much of an adventurist but thanks to my brother who represents me for this experience I can share this new getaway in the north. Alviera's Sandbox is one of the new thing in the vast land of Porac, Pampanga. Ayala Land Inc and in partnership with Leonio Land created a great place to make your summer a lot more interesting and wild. Sandbox redefines the meaning of outdoor fun and experience as they made this vast bare land into a new gateway to a great getaway. Some says that Alviera is more likely of the Nuvali in the north but whatever you call it, this will be the next attraction.
Sandbox brings some of the firsts in the outdoor industry as they pump up the adrenalin of the visitors with its exhilarating activities and facilities.
Some of their main attractions are the Giant Swing, so far it is the Philippines tallest swing at 10-meters high. The Giant Swing accommodates a couple's seat for those who wants to experience it with someone and the solo for the brave ones. Another great attraction and is the only first of its kind in the country, the Avatar One Roller Coaster Zipline, this ride takes one zipping down the line in a roller-coaster style 180- meters down.
The Aerial Walk is a challenging activity in the place as it entails strength, patience and the willingness to finish the activity. It's an obstacle course in the air. Even kids can enjoy this one. One more activity that my brother enjoyed very much was the ATV ride. He hasn't rode anything like this but he was able to get a hang of it. Of course we should always think of safety.
Aside from these activities there are also other things to enjoy inside Sandbox like the Pump track area where bikers can enjoy this 5,000 square meters as their training ground for some action or just a simple play area, enjoy frisbee, RC plane and car activities plus the kite-flying and kite-making workshops or just simply enjoy the sun and the place at the picnic area.
According to John Estaco, Alviera's General Manager, "The experience at Sandbox gives one a taste of what's to come upon the full development of Alviera. We envision Alviera to be the regional growth center of Central Luzon complete with a commercial district, business and industrial park, university zones, retail centers, a country club, recreational areas and residential neighborhoods."
Alviera is composed of a1,125-hectare property which is located along and is accessible from Porac exit of the SCTEX (Subic Clark Tarlac Expressway). It is also close to Clark Airport and Subic Freeport.
The Sandbox is open from Tuesdays to Saturdays from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. For more information about the place visit www.alviera.ph or their facebook page www.facebookpage.com/AlvieraPH
