Both parks are being developed in partnership with <a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/Tracker?data=Gl-IROY5M0U5BZWDOb6AHPqRs2hwzC95bA3BpV9V8g17V9wJTL61cRA5UkQk249ZNmxiw45Zo0JX1gg7CwP-uA==" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="">Activeon</a>, one of Europe’s leading indoor leisure groups, and are expected to open in late 2026. The announcement follows the opening of Slick City Nottingham, the brand’s first European park, earlier this year. “Europe represents one of the most significant growth opportunities in Slick City’s history,” said Bron Launsby, Co-Founder and CEO of Slick City Action Park. “The response to Nottingham has reinforced our confidence that this concept can succeed across countries and cultures. Gothenburg and Vienna are important next steps, but we believe they are only the beginning. Together with Activeon, we see tremendous opportunity to build a significant presence across Europe and establish Slick City as a leader in active indoor entertainment throughout the continent.” The approximately 4,500-square-meter Gothenburg park will be located at Åby Arena in Mölndal, one of the area’s landmark buildings. Its expansive footprint and high ceilings will provide an ideal setting for the large-scale slides and action-based attractions that define the Slick City experience. Expected to open later this year, the park will introduce Slick City to the Nordic market for the first time. “Åby Arena is an incredible setting for the first Slick City Action Park in the Nordics,” said Johan Lilienberg, managing director of Activeon Nordics. “With approximately 4,500 square meters of space and impressive ceiling heights, we have the opportunity to create something truly special. We look forward to opening the doors and introducing the region to an entirely new kind of active entertainment.” Activeon is also developing Austria’s first Slick City Action Park in Vienna. The approximately 4,700-square-meter park will be among the largest Slick City locations developed in Europe to date. The park will feature Slick City’s signature large-scale slides and other action-based attractions designed to engage children, teens and adults. It is expected to open later this year . “We are excited to bring the Slick City experience to Vienna,” said Florian Ruckert, managing director of Activeon Germany and Austria. “Slides have a universal appeal, and Slick City transforms that familiar excitement into a completely new, year-round experience. We can’t wait to welcome our first guests and introduce Austria to the concept.” The Gothenburg and Vienna parks are the latest step in Slick City’s international expansion strategy. Activeon initially committed to developing at least 26 Slick City locations across the European Union and currently holds development rights in Norway, Sweden, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Germany, Austria and the Netherlands. “We are very pleased with how Slick City has been received in Nottingham and excited to build on that momentum with Gothenburg and Vienna,” said John Nylén, CEO of Activeon. “We strongly believe in the concept and its potential across Europe. With two more parks already in development and a robust pipeline taking shape, we are moving quickly to build a significant European presence.” Activeon and Slick City have identified more than 135 potential locations across Europe based on population, market demand and other development factors, demonstrating the considerable runway the companies see for Slick City’s continued growth across the continent. Developed in the United States, Slick City has quickly expanded into a national brand, with over 150 parks currently open or under development. Unlike traditional trampoline parks, Slick City centers its experience around proprietary indoor slides, air courts and other active attractions. The concept offers year-round entertainment with broad appeal across age groups, along with birthday parties, school and youth programs, corporate events and dedicated experiences for adults.
