Oxford’s Urban Air Trampoline Park will feature dodge-ball courts, a foam
pit, soft play area, special trampo-line zone for kids age 7 and under, a tumble track, wall-to-wall tram-poline arenas, Warrior Obstacle Course, a Warrior Battle Beam, Slam Dunk Zone and a unique rock climbing wall where nothing but a clear piece of plexiglass separates competitors as they race face-to-face to the top.
Oxford’s Urban Air will include eight rooms for private parties, a cafe, plenty of picnic tables and a comfortable, raised viewing area from which parents can relax and watch all the action.
The services of an on-site photog-rapher/videographer, provided by Orion Area Chamber member Paula Kurzawa, will be available for private parties to capture all those memorable, action-packed moments.
In addition to kids’ parties, Urban Air is the perfect place to host team parties, fundraisers, corpo-rate events, family gatherings, and church functions.
