A new kind of amusement park is coming to town: Called Slick City Action Park, it's an indoor slide and activity venue that will open in Denton, in a former trampoline park at 2434 S I-35 E. #140.

According to a release, it will open on August 30.

Slick City Action Park is the world’s first indoor dry-slide and air court park designed for all ages. The concept was founded in 2021 by Bron Launsby, an entrepreneur in the family entertainment space and a board member of the International Adventure and Trampoline Parks Association, when he partnered with the inventor of Slick Slide, Gary Schmit, to bring a new and exciting concept to the adventure park industry.

Slick City - Denton options include:

• giant dry slides
• air courts for basketball & dodgeball
• trapeze and swing
• junior play areas with smaller slides

By "dry slides," they mean this is not a waterpark. Slides are up to 22 feet tall, in a dozen configurations with namea such as Mega Launch, Tailspin, and The Dragon — some straight runs, some curvy, some with a roller-coaster vibe. You wear socks they sell at the venue ($5), and you do your sliding on mats.

"Air courts" are like a combination of basketball and trampoline, with surfaces that you can jump and bounce on.

Tickets are $26 for 90 minutes, or $36 for two hours; for anyone 4 years or older; it's $14 for under 4 years old.

While kids are the primary customer, other locations say that their customers are about 20 percent adult, and they host special late adult-only nights.

The Denton location has a cafe with food and drink, a second-level mezzanine area overlooking the park, and three private party rooms. Mobile food ordering allows guests to order from their own table.

For snacks, they're partnered with J&J Snack Foods, serving brands such as Dippin' Dots, Hola Churros, SuperPretzel, and Icee shaved ice.

This is the first location in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, the second in Texas, and only the fourth for the soon-to-be-expanding chain, which currently has locations in Denver; St. Louis, Missouri; Peoria, Arizona; and Katy, Texas.

"As our first location in the Dallas area, we’ve created an experience unlike any before — with more exhiliarating slides, more air courts, and more unforgettable fun for all ages," Launsby says in a statement.
