Slick City Action Park announces first international expansion with Activeon partnership

Slick City Franchise Group, the US pioneer of indoor slide parks, has signed a landmark partnership agreement with Activeon, Europe’s leading trampoline park operator.

Together, the companies will bring Slick City’s innovative concept to multiple European markets, with a large-scale rollout already in motion. The first European Slick City park will open in the UK at the end of 2025, followed by additional UK sites and an expansion into mainland Europe in early 2026.

“We’ve had tremendous international interest in Slick City since launching just a few years ago, but we were intentional in making Activeon our first partner outside the US,” said Bron Launsby, chief executive and dounder of Slick City.

“Their unmatched industry expertise, proven operational excellence and understanding of our slides and technology make them the ideal choice to bring Slick City to Europe. With their scale and reach, we’re confident this partnership will set the standard for what’s possible in indoor family entertainment globally. We anticipate the rollout speed in Europe to reach the same pace as we have seen in the US and look forward to opening over 50 locations in the next few years.”

Founded in 2021, Slick City is expanding rapidly, with more than 95 parks already open or in development across 32 states. Recent openings include Tulsa, Oklahoma and Arlington, Texas, with 12-14 additional US locations slated to open by the end of 2025.

“We’ve watched Slick City transform the indoor leisure market in the U.S., achieving extraordinary growth in just a few years,” said John Nylen, chief executive of Activeon. “This partnership allows us to bring that same energy and innovation to Europe. For Activeon, it marks the start of yet another exciting new vertical.”

Activeon has 74 trampoline and leisure parks across eight countries, employing more than 3,000 people and welcoming over seven million annual visitors. Its portfolio includes leading brands such as AirHop, Rush, JumpHouse and Superfly.

“This concept is industry-defining for indoor leisure,” said Petter Haagaas, chief development officer and founder of Activeon.

“Slick City offers something truly fresh and dynamic- it’s pure adrenaline indoors. We are thrilled to confirm our first opening in the UK for late 2025, with a large pipeline of projects to follow across the UK, Germany and other European countries shortly after.”
