New adventure park proposed for Freeway Center

The Planning and Transportation Commission on October 9 will consider a new adventure park for the Mission Viejo Freeway Center at 25362 El Paseo.

The meeting starts at 6:30 pm in the Council Chamber at 200 Civic Center.

The City received an application from Joe Ryan on behalf of Mission Viejo Investment Group, LLC. to establish a new entertainment center for American Ninja Warrior Adventure Park. The applicant is also requesting a change in the type and quantity of permitted wall signs. According to the applicant, the park was inspired by the popular “American Ninja Warrior” TV show to start adventure parks across the United States.  The proposed adventure park will include obstacles such as monkey swings, spider walls, tilting logs, floating bridges and a warped wall.

With 18 parks in operation, the Ninja Adventure park is popular in the United Kingdom. Now, through an exclusive license with NBC Universal, the idea is to bring the new adventure parks to the United States and open 100 adventure parks in the next five years. The proposed Mission Viejo adventure park will include food and beverage service as well as a merchandise store and space for parties and special events. The facility could accommodate up to 350 people. The applicant estimates the park would generate roughly $150,000 in City revenue based on sales tax from merchandise and food and beverage sales.
