First-of-its-Kind Indoor Slide Park Brings All-Ages Action and Community Spirit to the Gulf Coast
Slick City Action Park, the world’s first indoor dry-slide and air court park designed for all ages, is making its Florida debut with the grand opening of Slick City Fort Myers, set for late January 2026. Located in the heart of Fort Myers and the first in the state of Florida, the new park will deliver high-speed thrills, gravity-defying slides and active fun for families, friends and groups of all ages.
Owned by local residents Bobbie Jo and Ryan Cox, the Fort Myers location marks a major milestone for Slick City’s national expansion and brings the brand’s one-of-a-kind experience to one of the fastest-growing regions in the country. The couple, who met during their early corporate careers and now live in Naples with their three children, were inspired to invest in a business that blends family, community and fun.
“Southwest Florida has always been home, and we’ve watched it transform into one of the most dynamic family destinations in the country,” said Bobbie Jo Cox, co-owner of Slick City Fort Myers. “Slick City fills a gap here, something exciting, active and totally unique for families when the Florida weather keeps them indoors. We can’t wait for this park to become a place where our community can come together and make memories.”
The Fort Myers park will feature over a dozen proprietary attractions, including massive dry slides engineered for maximum speed, air courts and family-friendly play zones for all ages. Slick City’s patented slide technology, designed by Slick Slide Co., delivers an unmatched experience that combines the rush of an amusement park ride with the accessibility of an indoor playground.
“This opening represents everything we love about Slick City—fun, family and community,” said Ryan Cox, co-owner. “Our goal is to build something that stands out in Southwest Florida entertainment while giving back to the place we call home. We’re excited to open our doors and be a positive force for families, schools and local organizations.”
Slick City Fort Myers is expected to create upwards of 60 local jobs, from management to guest experience roles, further contributing to the region’s economic growth.
Founded in 2021, Slick City is headquartered in St. Louis and Nashville and opened its first location in Denver, CO in early 2022. Since then, Slick City has introduced the nation to a first-of-its-kind entertainment experience. Research and development are at the core of Slick City, driven by CEO and founder Bron Launsby alongside co-founder Gary Schmidt, who also founded Slick Slide, a revolutionary slide manufacturing company. Slick Slide Co. pioneered the exhilarating attractions that define the parks, delivering an unmatched sensation of speed and elevation.
