Big trampoline plan for park
A HUGE trampoline park and ninja course is set to open in Exhall this summer.
It will be the first trampoline park to open in North Warwickshire and its owners claim it will be a “far different experience”.
Currently, those looking for a bounce have to make their way to Leamington or Tamworth, but now millions of pounds are being spent transforming a former warehouse into an attraction closer to home.
Red Kangaroo is spending £2.2 million to get the 75 trampolines ready for July.
The park will bring with it 80 jobs and is expected to attract 2,000 visitors each week.
As well as trampolining, there will also be go-karting, dodgeball, ninja courses and a foam pit.
Industrial warehousing in School Lane, which was previously the home of car components manufacturer RSM Industries, will undergo five months of refurbishment.
Paul Wrightman, managing director of Red Kangaroo, said: “We are delighted to be opening the first trampoline park in the area.
“This will be our third in the UK after we are due to launch in Reading in May and Nottingham in June this year.
“We chose this area because there is currently no other trampoline park and this site gave us the size of premises that we were looking for. “We expect to start works shortly with a view to opening in July. “Our huge trampoline parks will offer lots of fun-based trampoline activities with a few new surprises too. “I am particularly excited about the job creation opportunities our park will attract and the healthy aspect of this leisure facility combining fun and exercise all in one. “Our focus will be on providing a high quality and safe environment. “We will be offering a far different experience to other trampoline parks thanks to our extensive space.
“The individual trampolines we will be using are much larger than those normally seen in trampoline parks.
“The main park will also feature a large half pipe, cardio wall, power tower and slide, ninja courses, dodgeball courts and an extra-large foam pit and gladiator beam.
“There will be a variety of sessions run including toddler, fitness, Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND) and disco nights, as well as children’s and corporate parties.
“The park will also feature children’s go-karting and climbing, a café and a quiet room.”
The site already has planning permission after property company The Wigley Group acquired the site in early 2016 and property agents Bromwich Hardy took on the long lease for the 53,525 sq ft unit.
