For kids who have been going to San Francisco<\/a>\u2019s House of Air, a beloved trampoline park in the Presidio, things just won\u2019t be the same when it closes early next year.\u00a0<\/p>\n

House of Air announced Thursday that it will close on Feb. 15, 2027, because it didn\u2019t renew its lease that ends at the beginning of March.<\/p>\n

The facility \u2014 a former U.S. Army airplane hangar \u2014 has stayed true to its roots since its debut in 2010, bringing flightless play and good times of all kinds across its 8,000 square feet.<\/p>\n

It has dodgeball, general jumping, training for athletes, birthdays \u2014 which kids said they can\u2019t find anywhere else.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t want it to close because this place is a part of San Francisco,\u201d said Lee, 11, who has been coming to the park for years. \u201cIt\u2019s a part of the Presidio [that] is missing now. It\u2019s all just gone.\u201d<\/p>\n

The original facility, officially known as Building 926, was built in 1921. Restored for House of Air\u2019s opening in partnership with its landlord, Presidio Trust, the company said it has since boasted over one million visitors.<\/p>\n

Daniel Matsumoto, general manager for the park, said that the company decided not to renew its lease after exploring renewal options with the Presidio Trust.<\/p>\n

Friends Mikko M. and Gibson M., both 11-years-old, said they come to the park at least once a month and have met many friends during their time at House of Air.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s gonna be hard to beat,\u201d Mikko said. \u201cI just love this place a lot.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

When asked where they might go instead, all of the young jumpers that KQED spoke with said they didn\u2019t know of anything else that compared to House of Air.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd even location-wise, it\u2019s so classic and iconic. It\u2019s facing Crissy Field,\u201d said Grace, 17.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The park is still open for play until it closes in February. Jumpers can show up for regular general jumping and other activities until then.<\/p>\n

Matsumoto said there will be a special farewell event closer to its closing date, with plans underway.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not yet clear what the Presidio Trust \u2014 which will decide what happens to the former airplane hangar and trampoline park \u2014 will look for next.\u00a0<\/p>\n
