Florida’s Longest Zipline Opening Soon in Newberry

NEWBERRY ‒ Newberry will soon be home to the longest zipline park in Florida. And the attraction is opening this fall. Zipline will be situated east of Northwest County Road 235. At the Newberry Planning and Zoning meeting on April 3, 2023, it was announced that the site would include construction or installation of an approximately 1,000-square-foot building, three towers and walking trails.

The “Dragon” is the longest zipline in the park, and it will be a dual line for two people to zip at the same time.

A specialized landing zone has been constructed to accommodate riders with special needs.

Newberry Mayor Jordan Marlowe is attempting to convince the owners of a small beach located in the same vicinity as the zipline park that it would be an amazing spot to open up to customers for an after zipline swim. Marlow is hoping that Alachua County residents will spread the word to help encourage the owners to consider the idea.

“I will keep making the case that the quarries in our community are Newberry’s best untapped resource,” said Marlowe. But I also believe this zipline park is about to change that.”
