Adidas has erected a new floating platform in the water surrounding The Pointe. The initiative is a part of adidas’ x Parley ‘Run for the Oceans campaign’. The floating platform spans 250km across the water and is absolutely free for all. The new bridge is open to the public every day from 6pm to 12am until June 8. So, make sure you get here in time for the Palm Fountain show which happens every half hour from 7pm right up until 1am, each day.

Adidas’ Run For The Oceans is a virtual challenge where participants can run, walk, or wheelchair to help support Parley’s Global Cleanup Network. Parley’s Global Cleanup Operations works to help end marine plastic pollution by intercepting debris from beaches and islands.

The new water platform can be accessed from the eastern side of The Pointe, in front of LadBurger. Touch points are placed all over the area in order to educate visitors about the importance of coming together to end the plastic pollution.
