Urban Air Park Is Coming To Elk Grove! |
The project is still in the site selection phase, but once open it will:
• Create 65 new local jobs
• Offer 20+ attractions including ropes courses, zip lines, laser tag, dodgeball, go-karting, slides, obstacle courses, and more
• Feature a family-friendly café
This new park is part of a larger California expansion. Franchise partners Talwinder Singh and Parampreet Singh Pannu signed a three-unit deal for new parks in Stockton, Elk Grove, and Richmond.
Urban Air already has four California parks (Sacramento-1700 Arden Way, Hanford, Fullerton, and Concord), with more on the way in Murrieta, Hayward, Palmdale, Gilroy, and Huntington Beach.
While the exact Elk Grove location hasn’t been finalized yet, the park will deliver “top-tier service in a safe, affordable environment that caters to all ages,” according to Urban Air spokesperson Destiny Garcia.
Founded in 2011 and now with more than 400 parks open or in development nationwide, Urban Air is part of Unleashed Brands, which also owns The Little Gym, Sylvan Learning, and Snapology.
No official opening date has been released yet — but Elk Grove families can look forward to a new place for fun, fitness, and adventure very soon!
