'World's first' waterless indoor slide park to open soon in Katy, Texas

CITY OF KATY (Covering Katy News) - Slick City Action Park, an indoor slide and sports park, opens Dec. 15. at the Katy Mills mall.

"Slick City is the world's first Indoor slide (with no water) and Sports Park designed for all ages," a press release said. It will be Slick City's first Texas location. Slick City has two other parks near Denver, Colorado, and St. Louis, Missouri.

It will be a 56,200-square-foot facility equipped with slides, some as high as 25 feet. In addition, there will be eleven giant slides where the user lands in a large padded pit or on a padded floor.

The Katy location will have indoor slides and air courts with air-filled floors. In addition, there will be courts for basketball, dodgeball, volleyball, and soccer.

There will also be a 4-level soft play area (for ages 5 & under) with multiple slides, trapeze, swing, zip line, silks, obstacle course, mini go-karts (ages 5-11), and more than 5,000 square feet of events space for parties and a Café.

Slick City will be between Katy Mills entrances 7 and 8 at 5000 Katy Mills Circle, Katy, TX 77494. Hiring begins early in the summer of 2023.

It will add another theme park to the area. Water park Typhoon Texas is next to Katy Mills and is open seasonally. Theme Park Dig World is also at Katy Mills, allowing kids to operate authentic heavy equipment.
