Northwest Oklahoma City’s Penn Square corridor is about to trade some big‑box browsing for big air. Fun City Adventure Park is planning a roughly 47,000‑square‑foot indoor entertainment center at Centennial Plaza, filling a large storefront with obstacle courses, towering slides, climbing features, courts and an arcade in one of the city’s busiest retail hubs. Company representatives say any firm construction schedule still depends on municipal approvals and permits.
According to The Oklahoman, building permit filings identify Fun City Adventure Park as the proposed tenant at 3000 NW 59th St and list the space at about 47,430 square feet. The permits describe a ninja course, slides, a climbing area, dodgeball and basketball courts, and an arcade. The paper quoted Jun Zhang, a company representative, saying the start date is undetermined and that construction would take "about seven to nine months" once permits are issued. The reporting notes the company has been expanding rapidly in other markets.
Site and size
Centennial Plaza, the power center at NW 59th Street and North May Avenue, is marketed by RCG Ventures, which lists Best Buy, The Home Depot and Guitar Center as anchors and identifies Fun City as a proposed tenant for the complex. Oklahoma County Assessor records for parcel 3000 NW 59th St confirm the property is part of Centennial Plaza and show the building at roughly 49,638 square feet, a modest difference from the permit figure. The ownership and property size point to a major re‑tenanting of a large retail shell in the Penn Square area.
What to expect inside
Permit summaries line up with the play packages Fun City installs elsewhere: obstacle‑style ninja courses, indoor slides and climbing features paired with courts and an arcade geared toward parties and open‑play sessions. The company already operates a Tulsa location at Fun City Tulsa, where its local site highlights similar attractions and private‑party options. The brand’s corporate "Coming Soon" page lists multiple future locations nationwide but had not included an Oklahoma City listing as of this report.
Timeline and next steps
Jun Zhang told The Oklahoman that the company is awaiting required permits before construction can begin and that renovation work would likely span seven to nine months once approvals are in hand. Permit documents referenced by the paper list local architect Femi Fasesin on the project, and the report says attempts to reach Fasesin were unanswered by publication. City plan‑review and permitting steps will determine when the site can be reconfigured for the entertainment layout.
Why it matters
Replacing a large, underused retail shell with an experiential anchor could boost weekday traffic at Centennial Plaza and give families another indoor destination on the north side of the metro. With the property owned and marketed as a high‑volume retail node, neighbors, retailers and city officials will be watching permit progress to see whether the proposal moves from filings to a visible construction site.
