Trampoline Park Offers Cool Air During Summer Heat

By Stan Bindell, QCBN

When it’s too hot or too cold to play outside, Get Air Trampoline Park offers the opportunity to bounce off some energy. The facility, a stand-alone building at the Prescott Gateway Mall, includes a foam pit, a balance beam, basketball nets and dodgeball play areas.

General Manager Sean Anderson says Get Air opened in late December because the franchise owner saw a need for family fun. “We want a place where everybody can be entertained. It’s good physical and mental exercise. It’s a way to release stress,” he said.

Aside from normal admission, Get Air Trampoline Park offers birthday and event packages. The gymnasium also has facility rentals for private parties, with a maximum capacity of 250 people. Special discount times are 8 to10 a.m. on Sundays and 10 a.m. to noon on Thursdays.

Get Air also focuses on safety. Everyone who participates must have rubberized socks, which they can purchase on site for $4.

Anderson, a former principal and teacher, says he enjoys interacting with young people. “I know there is a huge amount of youth in crisis and I want to help them. We need a place where youth can go. This could be a safe place for teens so they could burn some energy.”

Anderson says Get Air has received a great response from the community, with many repeat customers. “As the temperature increases outside, we will get more people coming inside.”

There are 70 Get Air locations internationally. The local trampoline park has seven employees and is accepting applications for jobs in the fall. QCBN

Providing you safe, reliable energy is our top priority. That’s why we work year-round to prepare for wildfires. During elevated fire conditions, power outages may be extended until crews can perform visual inspections of lines and remove any potential hazards that could pose a fire risk. In the event of a wildfire, power lines may be temporarily taken out of service to protect your community and firefighters. Working together, we can be prepared. Here are some things you can do to be ready for wildfire season.
