Urban Air Adventure Park is coming to Southside now that the city issued a permit for a $1.7 million build-out at the former RH Outlet in Southside.
Urban Air said in January it intends to open an indoor trampoline and activities venue in June at the location in The Shoppes at Southside at 9950 Southside Blvd.
The site is between David’s Bridal and Best Buy in a retail center north of The Avenues mall.
Able Construction Inc. is the contractor for the 41,560-square-foot project. Nove Studios LLC of Dallas is the architect.
The urbanairjacksonville.com site shows the location is coming soon.
Urban Air franchise owners Derek Carder, of Denver, and Gary Glanger, of Texas, said in January they are targeting a grand opening June 1, but Carder said that could change pending the construction time frame.
Carder expects to hire 70-90 people and make an overall project investment of about $4 million.
Plans show a dodgeball court, drop zone and performance pit, dunk ball and performance pit, wall climb area and other activities.
Urban Air spokeswoman Carolyn McLean said in January the Jacksonville park will be similar to one recently opened in Southlake, Texas, and will have high-performance go-karts and bumper cars.
The Southlake park includes a sky rider indoor coaster, virtual reality, climbing walls and rope courses.
Urban Air joins the expansion of indoor parks in Jacksonville.
For example, Surge Adventure Park, backed by New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees, opened in November in the Regency Court Shopping Center and Velocity Air Sports opened in 2015 in Liberty Business Park along AC Skinner Parkway in South Jacksonville.
