If your kids already bounce off the walls at home, they may soon have a new place to do it in public. Slick City Action Park is headed to Deerbrook Crossing in Humble, planning to turn a roughly 39,000-square-foot former retail space into an indoor slide-and-air-court playground for families.
Construction is slated to kick off June 1, with the build-out targeting an early December finish along the busy US-59/FM-1960 corridor. Once open, the park is expected to bring multi-story dry slides, trampoline-style air courts, a junior play zone and private party rooms to the shopping center lineup.
TDLR Filing Lays Out Who, What And When
A May 1 filing with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation lists the project under registration number TABS2026019133 for Slick City Action Park at 20424 US-59 in Humble. The record calls for a 39,308-square-foot interior fit-out, with work scheduled to start June 1 and wrap by December 4.
The filing identifies BVA Deerbrook SPE LLC as the owner and names Christopher Bush as the tenant. It describes the work simply as an interior renovation to create a family entertainment center, which tracks with the brand’s slide-and-air-court concept.
Space And Site Details
Leasing materials for Deerbrook Marketplace peg unit 20424 - the planned Slick City address - at about 39,618 square feet, creating a small difference from the square footage in the TDLR paperwork. The same flyer highlights anchors such as Best Buy, PetSmart and Crunch Fitness, underscoring that Slick City would sit in the middle of a well-trafficked retail cluster that landlords are actively pitching for more experiential uses.
If the construction follows the scope in the state filing, Slick City would occupy one of the larger entertainment footprints in the center, putting a sizable indoor attraction into a space that once housed traditional retail.
What Slick City Will Bring
Slick City bills itself as an indoor, waterless action park, built around high-speed dry slides, “air courts” for basketball and dodgeball-style play, a Junior Jungle area geared to younger kids, and event and birthday suites for groups. The Slick City website lists Humble as a coming-soon location, and the chain’s map shows an October 2026 window for the city.
A company release via GlobeNewswire reported in April that the brand had surpassed 150 locations signed or open. The mix of slides, air courts and party suites is pitched to both casual family visits and more structured events such as birthdays, school outings and group rentals.
Why It Matters In The Deerbrook Corridor
Regional shopping centers have increasingly leaned on entertainment and experience-focused tenants to keep people on site longer, and the Deerbrook corridor has stayed active with that trend. A Portillo’s opened nearby this winter, a reminder that national brands still see opportunity along this stretch of Humble.
Local coverage by Community Impact first spotted the TDLR filing this week and recapped the basic project details pulled from the state record.
Neither Slick City nor Deerbrook Crossing’s managers have released a formal opening date or hiring plans. The company’s location and pricing pages typically roll out information on ticket options, hours and party packages as launches get closer, and those will likely be the go-to spots for specifics when the Humble park nears the finish line. For now, the TDLR filing and the landlord’s leasing materials remain the clearest public guide to the project’s size and timeline.
