An indoor trampoline park — a facility with 60 to 70 trampolines — will open this summer to serve the Asheville area.

Two local families will be operating Launch Trampoline Park of Asheville, potentially in a large building off Glenbridge Road in Arden, beginning in July or August.

Regarding the planned park, Bret Pacheco, one of the owners, told the local news media recently that “I think the Asheville community will love it.” He added that it will take substantial space with a “really high ceiling” to house it.

In a statement, Jennifer Pacheco, Bret’s wife, added, “The Asheville area is overdue for a local trampoline park.”

The Pachecos, who run a local accounting firm in Arden, said they got the idea for bringing an indoor trampoline park to Asheville after making a day trip to one of the parks in nearby Greenville, S.C.

The park also will feature a café inside, offering food and drinks. The operation will be looking to hire about 50 people.
