GALLERY: $1M Urban Air Adventure Park in Denton celebrates soft opening

The Denton Urban Air held its soft opening Oct. 31, offering the first 50 children wearing Halloween costumes who purchased Urban Air socks a free day play pass.

All the activities are designed to promote healthy lifestyles by making exercise fun and engaging, according to the company’s website.

The overview: The new $1 million facility is an indoor playground and trampoline park catering to children aged 2-18. The space can accommodate up to 400 people at a time, according to prior reporting.

Dev Ray, the owner of the facility, said opening an Urban Air in Denton made sense from a business perspective.

“Denton is one of the [fastest-growing] cities [in the area] and really doesn't have spaces like this here,” he said.

Before You Go
Planning to vote in Texas on Tuesday, Nov. 3? Here's what to know before heading to the polls.

Texans' last chance to vote in this year's midterm election is Nov. 3. Polling places across the state will be open from 7 a.m.-7 p.m. on Election Day, according to the secretary of state's office.

What to expect: Dozens of races will appear on the ballot, from U.S. Senate and governor to local officials and propositions.

If a voter runs into an issue at the polls that cannot be immediately resolved, such as a lack of photo ID or an administrative error, they have the right to cast a provisional ballot, per state law. Some voters may be required to return to the local voter registrar's office by Nov. 9—six days after Election Day—to resolve the issue after voting.

Stay informed: Visit communityimpact.com/voter-guide to read Q&As with hundreds of candidates, find coverage of local propositions and print a custom sample ballot to bring to the polls.

After polls close at 7 p.m. Nov. 3, election results will be posted on the same webpage.
