Bridgetowne Obstacle Park, a 6,000-square-meter, 25-obstacle permanent facility in Robinsons Land’s Bridgetowne Destination Estate, formally opened to the public on November 13, 2022. The record-setting project is the result of a partnership between Bridgetowne and the Pilipinas Obstacle Sports Federation (POSF).
“Building the world’s biggest permanent obstacle facility is our commitment to our advocacy on winning, resilience, and the value of conquering obstacles. Bridgetowne’s proposition of being a destination that ignites the winning spirit and bridges powerful and meaningful connections is, once again, made possible through this partnership with POSF,” said Mybelle V. Aragon-GoBio, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Robinsons Destination Estates.

With obstacle course racing now taking the world by storm, the Bridgetowne Obstacle Park can serve as the perfect introduction to newcomers to the sport, as a place to achieve one’s fitness goals, or as a facility for experienced OCR athletes to train for their next race. The park accommodates private training sessions for beginners, intermediate, and advanced players conducted by certified coaches as well as national and elite athletes.

Regardless of one’s age, fitness level, and training background, there is surely an obstacle on the course to provide a fun and exciting challenge.
Apart from being an official venue for OCR events, group classes, and national and international competitions, the park can accommodate team building sessions, private OCR games, and sports events for companies and groups.

Espousing the live-work-play-inspire lifestyle within a green, sustainable community, Bridgetowne will have a full-scale premium shopping mall, retail strip malls with innovative F&B concepts, premium-grade office buildings, a 5-star hotel, and diverse residential offerings.

The Bridgetowne Central Park, set within the heart of the development, will be the main communal activity space in the estate.
