The surge in popularity of trampoline arenas shows no sign of slowing down after new plans were unveiled to open another park in the city.

The Flip Out chain is eyeing a former industrial building in Aston to launch its third park in the West Midlands, joining its centres in Stoke and Oldbury, due to open during July.

The building, at 50-55 Pritchett Street near the Aston Expressway, was previously used as a home for windows company Kestrel Aluminium Systems until it relocated last year.

According to newly submitted plans, the building has been marketed extensively for new industrial uses but property agents have been unable to secure a tenant.

In addition to the main trampoline area, there will be a foam pit for stunts and tricks, a wall run, basketball and café.

The redevelopment will also have 50 parking spaces, create 20 jobs and join other West Midlands trampoline centres in Perry Barr, Wolverhampton and Bordesley among others.

A design statement prepared by Stafford-based Croft Architecture said: "The Flip Out brand originated in Australia, where it is the country's largest trampoline playground, providing centres in most major areas.

"Flip Out's mission is to create a fun and exhilarating experience that also promotes health and exercise through fun activities and games.

"This proposal for Flip Out Birmingham follows the recent successful launches of trampoline arenas around the country and seeks to bring the Flip Out experience to other communities in the West Midlands.

"The centre would provide a much-needed leisure facility for people living nearby (and) games and activity space in an area which is currently underprovided."
