Slick City action park slides into Peoria

It will be the first location in Arizona

Posted

Slick City action park – an indoor dry-slide and air court park designed for all ages – announced its new location in Peoria will open in June.

The location is at 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 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 be home to a new attraction, the Barrel Roll.

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 demand for itsexperiential 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.”

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.

Peoria will have special attractions for guests aged 3 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 U.S.
