It was the day before opening, and the Gold Coats of the Chamber of Commerce stand in front of the doors to Urban Air to welcome a new trampoline park off Kemp Blvd. to the community. Kids ran circles around their families as they waited for a VIP opening of the park. As the doors opened, the children ran to jump on the trampolines for the first time.
After the help of marketing from Hoegger Communications and a full staff, owners Colby and Sarah Cates officially opened the doors at Urban Air Trampoline Park Jan. 30.
“You leave all your problems behind when you walk into Urban Air,” Jackie Hoegger, adjunct instructor in marketing, sai of the park equipped with a different variety of activities.
Hoegger, president of Hoegger Communications, helped with the marketing for their business.
“It’s a party zone. It’s a fun zone. It’s just fun,” Hoegger said. “We want people to have a blast. We want fraternities to use it, sororities to use it, all kinds of groups to come and have fun.”
Urban Air hosts events such as birthday parties for all ages as well as fitness classes. Cates said she believes that this is a place for all ages.
“I see grown adults out here playing dodgeball and slam dunking on the basketball court so I think that it’s really fun for all ages,” Cates said.
Radiology sophomore Katelyn Moser is a Park Lead at Urban Air and her job is to supervise court monitors, party hosts, and front desk associates at all times. Moser said Urban Air is great for college students to use for a study break.
“It’s not that expensive,” Moser said. “So it’s not like a college kid can’t afford it.”
