Badger Sports Park expands to offer more fun to Fox Valley families
Badger Sports Park, the Fox Valley’s premiere family entertainment center, is expanding its attractions to include LaserTron® laser tag, mini-bowling, and inflatables. This expansion adds 13,000-square-feet to Badger Sports Park. Approximately 5,000-square-feet of sport turf will serve as multi-use space, and will be available for dances, corporate meetings and retreats.
“We are very excited about the addition of the laser tag arena, inflatables, and mini-bowling to Badger Sports Park,” said Pat VanAbel, owner/director of business development at Badger Sports Park. “Now we are able to offer year-round activities that serve the entire family as well as our corporate guests.”
LaserTron will be the only two-story laser tag arena northeast Wisconsin. The arena occupies 5,000-square-feet of space. The game is a fast paced, competitive team sport, in which participants play with offensive and defensive strategies. Special CHIPS “Competitive Human Interactive Player Software” are used to maximize team strategies. A game includes briefing, vesting and four separate games in your 30 minute time slot. This multigame format allows for participants to pick up on strategies and play as the game progresses. There are also 60 minute and 90 minute sessions available. Reservations are highly recommended. Please call Badger ahead of time to reserve your slot.
Badger also offers a large inflatable area that occupies 5,000-square-feet of space. Children can play in four brand new sports themed inflatables. For $7, children can enjoy unlimited play all day. This area is for children aged two to 10. A special turf has also been installed under the inflatables, allowing them to be moved aside, to allow for different types of uses, such as dances, sports and dodge ball.
Tim Bruecker, (owner / operations management) at Badger Sports Park also commented, “The sports turf also offers versatility; besides adding activities, it also provides meeting space that can be used by groups and businesses that visit the facility.”
Along with the expansion, Joe Van Abel (owner/ Marketing) will now assist in marketing and outside sales with Badger Sports Park. Jenny Rooyakers has been made full-time in her role as manager. She will be responsible for scheduling and counter operations. To date, Badger Sports Park has 35 part time and full time employees. In addition, they are also currently seeking 10 new part and full time positions.
Badger Sports Park is also expanding its menu to include food such as chicken strips, cheese curds and french fries. Reservations are recommended for some of the attractions. Call 920.830.6900 for more information.
