Slick City action park – an indoor dry-slide and air court park designed for all ages – is excited to announce its new location in Peoria, 7586 W. Thunderbird Road, Suite 100, according to a news release.

Featuring aptly named slides such as “Mega Launch,” “The Royal Flush,” and “The Dragon,” the new Peoria location marks the next step in Slick City’s expansion into new markets throughout the U.S. Slick City currently has three other locations open and operating in Denver, Colorado; St. Louis, Missouri; and Katy, Texas.

The new Slick City is expected to be open and operating by June.

The Peoria opening is the first of five Slick City action parks the brand intends to open in the greater Phoenix area. The new Peoria action park is housed in a 36,000-square-foot space, and features 10 slides, an acrobat alley with a trapeze and swing, and a junior play area with mini slides, tubes and obstacles. There will also be two air courts for basketball, dodgeball and other sports, as well as a City Cafe and a two-level party entertainment space. The new location will also be home to a brand-new attraction never seen before, the Barrel Roll. Slick City combines proprietary, “We’ve gotta do that!” attractions with guest experiences to inspire, engage and entertain thrill-seekers of all ages.

With the out-of-home entertainment market valued at $287.3 billion in 2022 and estimated to surpass $497.9 Billion by 2031, Slick City has seen incredible demand for their experiential destinations. Phoenix, the fastest growing city in the country from 2010 to 2020, continues to establish itself as a leading U.S. metropolitan area, making it a perfect match for Slick City as it takes the next step in its national expansion.


“I feel an overwhelming sense of gratitude and excitement with the growth we have seen. Arizona has given us quite the warm welcome already,” said Bron Launsby, CEO and founder of Slick City. “Our first three locations have received incredible receptions in their respective markets and the fresh energy our locations introduce into communities is perfect for the Phoenix area. We are overjoyed to provide a new and exciting way to have fun and make memories with friends, family, and loved ones in addition to creating 90+ new job opportunities in the community.”

Unlike other out of home entertainment parks, Slick City is truly made for everyone, the release said. The brand and its attractions were designed for both the young and young at heart to enjoy, while creating new shared experiences with friends and family. Slick City hosts corporate events and adult nights to appeal to grownups, and birthday parties for all ages; the brand has already been named “Best Place for a Kid’s Birthday Party” in St Louis. On top of that, Peoria will have special attractions for guests aged three and under with gated areas and seating for parents. This all-ages appeal also powers major brand growth - Slick City plans for rapid expansion in 2024 and beyond, with numerous new locations planned across the US.
