Managed by property giant Ayala Land, Inc. (ALI) in partnership with Leonio Land, SandBox is located within the sprawling Alviera township -- and is geared towards being developed as a “green township,” Alviera will unveil to the public its first attraction, SandBox, on April 12.
According to Albert Ong, operations manager of SandBox adventure park, Alviera is very similar to Nuvali in Sta. Rosa Laguna.
But while Nuvali’s main attraction is its lake, for Alviera, it is this adventure park, due primarily to Porac’s rugged terrain.
SandBox features the Giant Swing, the country’s tallest. Other attractions include the Aerial Walk Challenge, a high rope adventure course of nets and rope walkways; and the Adventure Tower, a five-storey structure that features a view deck and allows for rappelling and wall climbing, and serves as the jump-off point for the free fall and zip line.
The roller coaster zip line is like a regular zip line, but with a few literal twists.

Other features include all-terrain vehicle (ATV) and mini-ATV rides, a pump track for cyclists, a themed mini playground with picnic areas, a courtyard, and an open field for sports and outdoor activities.
While most attractions were ready to go, others such as the golf course and roller coaster zip line were still under construction one week before the park’s opening.
Another feature of SandBox is its pump track for cyclists, named for what riders do to keep in motion in lieu of pedaling.
The 5,000-square-meter track is divided into areas depending on difficulty, so that beginners up to experts, children and adults, can make use of it not only for leisure and play but for training as well.--Excerpt from ABS-CBN News
