Axe Throwing in Oran Park

Southwell Road in Oran Park is where The Blade Den has set up its axe range, at Unit 2/70, giving locals somewhere close to home to throw. Inside is a caged, multi-lane space with timber targets and long tables where a group can sit between turns, pitched at birthdays, date nights, team building and anyone who fancies a different sort of night out.

Coaches open every session with a safety induction, show the group how to throw, and keep the rounds moving with games and challenges. Bookings are from $55 per person.

On the day at Southwell Road:

• Arrive 15 minutes early to sign the waiver.
• Wear enclosed shoes; all the equipment is supplied.
• Choose one hour for the basics and plenty of throws, or two hours for a proper competition with a bigger group.
• Friday and Saturday evenings take walk-ins as well as bookings; Sunday to Thursday is by appointment from midday.
• Throwers must be 11 or older, with a parent or guardian signing for anyone under 18.

The venue doesn't sell alcohol at present, though the owners say they are working towards drinks after a session. Oran Park is a car-based suburb in the Macarthur region, so plan lifts or carpools for the group ahead of time.
