New £2.5m ‘state-of-the-art’ indoor activity park to open at MediaCity

A brand new indoor activity park is set to open its doors over in Greater Manchester early next year, and it all sounds very exciting.

Salford has been chosen by Oxygen Activeplay as the location for its next venture, and will be descending on Quayside MediaCity next February with state-of-the-art equipment and activities to help local families stay active whilst having fun at the same time.

Oxygen will sit above bustling food hall Kargo MKT, taking over the former site of I’m a Celebrity Jungle Challenge. 

Following a £2.5 million investment, the new park will feature more than 30 trampolines, a mega-air bag, a high ropes course, a ‘Rollglider’ aerial ride which flies over the facility, and Oxygen’s signature ‘Excite Tunnel’ – an illuminated sensory experience.

More “epic” activities are set to be unveiled over the coming weeks.

Set to be the company‘s tenth indoor activity park to open in England, Oxygen Activeplay says it’s “passionate” about creating opportunities and accessible spaces where every family learn, develop, and stay active through play.

A series of optional games and dance parties will also be on offer during each play session, and the new Manchester park will also host ‘Peaceful Play’ sessions designed for neurodivergent guests, who prefer a calmer and quieter playing environment.

A cafe serving drinks, snacks, and meals will also overlook the park.

More than 50 new jobs will be available for local people through the creation of the park – including party hosts, bouncers, and members of the management team. 

Speaking ahead of the new park opening next year, Stephen Wilson, who is the CEO at Oxygen Activeplay, said: “With Oxygen at MediaCity being our tenth park, we knew we had to do something really special, so we have some really big and exciting plans.
