Air Space will be Europe’s largest freestyle jumping arena and the groundbreaking urban playground will feature more than 100 interconnected, wall-to-wall trampolines – covering the same area as over six basketball courts.

A total of £2 million is being invested in the unrivalled new indoor leisure destination which is set to open at Playsport in East Kilbride later this year, bringing the worldwide trampolining buzz to Scotland.

Air Space will provide an incredible spring-loaded urban playground. Jumpsters can perfect their freestyle parkour moves in the main arena, bouncing from one trampoline to the next, or participate in team sports with a twist, including dodgeball, basketball and football, all on super-sprung pitches.

The innovative new experience is being launched by the multi-award winning adventure company Go Ape. As the UK’s leading forest adventure brand, Go Ape has grown to 28 sites nationwide since the first course launched in 2002 and is using its expertise to bring the Air Space experience to Scotland.

Pete Brown, Operations Manager at Air Space, said: “Indoor trampoline arenas have taken the US and Australia by storm and it’s fantastic to be at the forefront of the buzz in Scotland.

“Air Space will be the first trampoline park in Scotland and Europe’s largest freestyle jumping arena and we have already had an incredible response from those who can’t wait to give it a try.

“Glasgow in particular has always had a reputation for embracing the new and exciting and the success of the Commonwealth Games means that the interest in sports is at an all- time high. It’s a young at heart city with a higher than average young population of 18-25’s which is reflected in its personality.

“There’s also a vibrant culture for urban and extreme sports which has a direct link to what we’re doing as so many pro’s in skateboarding, snowboarding and wakeboarding use trampolines to train and up their skill level. We’re sure people are going to love Air Space and of all the places we could have chosen to launch, we’ve definitely picked the right location.”

The development, which will provide 60 new jobs, will be housed in a custom built arena at the Playsport leisure complex in East Kilbride, building on a number of other leisure activities already on offer including five-a-side football pitches, golf attractions and indoor climbing walls.

The unveiling of Air Space is likely to coincide with the reopening of EK Park Skatepark which has undergone an extensive refurbishment and will be relaunched as Zone 74.

Steven Jacobs, Manager at Zone 74, said: “We’re really pleased to have Air Space as our new neighbours. There’s a real synergy between our skatepark and Air Space and it will give people even more reasons to visit Playsport. There really is something for everyone.”

The official opening date for Air Space will be announced on 17th November 2014.
