FAMILY ACTIVITIES · A POSSIBLE LOCATION
A major family destination
An approximately 65,000-square-foot indoor family adventure center with climbing, ninja activities, courts, younger-child play, parties and a café. The Kenneth Ford Drive parcel is an unconfirmed site candidate.
Illustrative concept — not an approved design.THE PROPOSED USE
Active recreation for children, teens and families.
The family-center proposal combines activities for several ages in one indoor destination. Climbing and bouldering, ninja and parkour areas, interactive games and a multipurpose court provide the main activity zones. Younger children would have a separate play area, with party and classroom rooms serving organized visits.
A café, seating with clear sightlines, accessible circulation and quieter sessions are part of the program. An experienced operator must determine the equipment mix, supervision and prices. Repeat attendance after opening is the central business test, especially for a facility of this size.
- Climbing & ninja activities
- Indoor play for all ages
- Birthday & community spaces
- Food and outdoor activities
Resolve land use and services before treating this as a building site.
County records and broker marketing identify the Kenneth Ford candidate as an 11.25-acre private parcel. It provides a location for examining a building footprint, parking, drop-off and possible outdoor activities. Those elements have not been designed or approved.
The listing identifies Public Reserve zoning and service conditions linked to annexation. Permitted uses, airport compatibility, usable ground and utility capacity require written confirmation. These are substantial unresolved conditions. The center should be evaluated at another property if this site cannot meet them on workable terms.
Published property information
- Douglas County assessment record identifies 11.25 acres at parcel R55852.
- All-Pro's indexed land listing advertises a $3.5 million asking price, PR zoning and services conditional on annexation.
Recorded property-information review: November 8, 2026. Listings and inventory records can change; current availability and terms need confirmation from the owner or appointed representative.
Intended community benefit
The proposed center provides a broader indoor activity choice for families across the region, including older children and teens. Its program must complement existing recreation and Umpqua Fun’s independently announced project. Accessible participation, quieter sessions and prices families can support repeatedly belong in the operator’s initial plan.
Required site and business assessments
The following assessments establish whether the use is feasible at this location, what it will cost and which parties are prepared to proceed.
- 01
An experienced family-entertainment operator needs to assess attendance, pricing, repeat visits and the activities already available or announced in the region.
- 02
City and County staff need to establish whether the proposed use can be approved and whether annexation is required.
- 03
Aviation and land-use review need to establish which building heights and activities are compatible with the airport.
- 04
Traffic specialists need to assess peak arrivals, road access, parking and safe group drop-off.
- 05
Engineers need to establish usable land, ground conditions, environmental constraints and the cost of water, sewer and other services.
- 06
The owner and prospective developer need to agree on access for these studies and on terms that depend on satisfactory results.
