Oxygen Freejumping to open trampoline park at The O2
BY Deven Pamben
Trampoline park operator Oxygen Freejumping is opening a 30,000sq ft (2,787sq m) operation at The O2 – the first of three new sites due to open around London.
The park at The O2, which is due to open in summer 2018, will be Oxygen’s 11th in the UK and is in line with the company’s strategy to target areas of high consumer footfall.
It will be within the venue’s leisure district, adjacent to the bowling and cinema operators.
“We are delighted to have secured such a high profile and prestigious location for our next trampoline park,” said David Stalker, Oxygen Freejumping chief executive. “The O2 has been voted the number one global entertainment venue for the last 10 consecutive years and is visited by nine million people each year. This number is expected to rise to 12.5 million with the opening of Icon Outlet and the Greenwich peninsula regeneration project.”
The deal is a joint venture between Oxygen, AEG and Crosstree Real Estate.
Alistair Wood, development manager at AEG Europe, said: “We are delighted to have Oxygen, the UK’s leading trampoline park operator, on board with us at The O2. Trampolining appeals to a broad demographic and will further diversify the leisure mix offered at The O2, to complement the retail offering which will open in Q4 2018.”
Oxygen was founded in 2014 by Stalker and Fred Turok, founder of LA Fitness.
In July the company bought Air Space Trampoline in a multi-million pound deal. The acquisition was part of Oxygen’s strategy to reach 20 parks by the end of 2018.
