URWLD plans to open a 165,000-square-foot venue at Globeville’s Fox Park development, offering hands-on experiences for all ages. 12 to 15 adventure sports and experiences will be available to try under one roof.
The over $80 million project will offer bouldering, surfing, ice climbing, and subterranean experiences like caving and spelunking. URWLD will feature a man-made mountain inside the building where people can learn canyoneering. An ice climbing wall is also planned.
The venue will also include a climbing wall and zip line that allows people to see the activities from above. The surfing will use a deep-water system and a full wave.
URWLD will feature restaurants with street access and internal coffee concepts.
Estimates are that URWLD will attract 1.2 million visitors annually at $50 a visit. Construction on the first phase of Fox Park is already underway. At full build-out, Fox Park will encompass 41 acres.
