Altitude Trampoline Park on Route 1 in North Attleborough will close its doors permanently Saturday, May 31.
The sudden announcement was made by General Manager Victor Rodriguez Thursday via a Facebook post.
The closure is said to be due to circumstances beyond the control of the employees at the park.
“This is something that has come to us pretty quickly,” Rodriguez said in the Facebook post. “It is something not done by the amazing people that work here at this park.”
Altitude, which opened in North Attleborough in 2017, has multiple locations around the country. There are several in Massachusetts, including Franklin, Marlborough, Avon, Holyoke and Billerica.
Each location has multiple attractions for kids to participate in, including extreme dodgeball, foam pit, rock wall and trapeze. It is also a hot spot for birthday parties and events.
Rodriguez is the general manager of the Holyoke location, as well.
Based on the company website, it does not say that any other locations are being shut down.
Coming with such short notice, Rodriguez said he apologies for any inconvenience the North Attleborough location closure might cause.
“I will do everything that I can to possibly help you in terms of providing any services that I can,” he said.
Rodriguez said he will also be reaching out to those who scheduled parties after June 1 to issue refunds.
Feeling as though he has been a part of a lot of the community members’ lives, he said in the Facebook video that it unfortunately has to come to an end.
“I am very grateful to have been part of so many families’ lives, for those who have worked with me, for those who have come here and jumped with us … It is a very very sad day,” Rodriguez said.
As he got emotional during the end of the near 6-minute video, Rodriguez explained how the love and support from the community toward the trampoline park has helped him provide for his family.
“I just wanted to thank you all for everything that you have given us,” Rodriguez said. “It means so much to me.”
“Our managers and staff have been great through seven years of blood, sweat and tears, trying to make this place a piece of this community,” Rodriguez said. “We’ve loved every single minute of being here.”
As the trampoline parks come to a close, a new one, Launch Trampoline Park, will be opening up right down the road on South Washington Street in the Target plaza. Launch is located where the previous “Babies R Us” was.
“Launch is opening up right next to us, I hope they can provide a great experience for you all because all we want is for kids to be able to be kids,” Rodriguez said. “And I don’t care where they jump, I just want them to have fun.”
An opening date for Launch has not been announced.
