Indoor activity park operator Oxygen Activeplay has signed for a 26,400 sq ft site at Quayside MediaCity in Salford.
The company is taking over the former site of ‘I’m a Celebrity Jungle Challenge’ for its tenth UK indoor park.
Following a £2.5m investment, the new park will feature more than 30 trampolines, a mega-air bag and Oxygen’s signature Excite Tunnel. Oxygen at MediaCity will also house a high ropes course and a ‘Rollglider’ aerial ride.
Stephen Wilson, chief executive officer at Oxygen Activeplay, said: “With Oxygen at MediaCity being our 10th park, we knew we had to do something really special, so we have some really big and exciting plans. We couldn’t think of a better home for the newest addition to the Oxygen Activeplay family, than at MediaCity. We’re starting the build very soon, we’ve already started recruiting for our new Hero Crew and the countdown is well and truly on for our opening in February.”
Ben Hey, asset director at Peel Retail & Leisure, added: “We’re really pleased to be welcoming Oxygen to Quayside MediaCity. There’s been concerted effort over the past 12 months to start bringing more experiential and leisure offerings into the centre as part of the 2030 vision for MediaCity and Oxygen fits the bill perfectly. We have no doubt it will be a hit with the incredible number of families already visiting thanks to the likes of Kargo Mkt, Vue Cinema and The Lowry.”
