VR attraction provider The Park Playground is expanding, opening its fifth European location.

Park Playground Portugal

Located in Porto, Portugal, it includes three free-roam fields which offer the full library of Park Playground VR content, including its two newest games, the heist themed The Break-in and the esports inspired NanoClash Focus.

Set to open on June 14, Sérgio Basto, the venue’s lead investor, said: “We’re incredibly excited to be working with The Park Playground. Though this industry is a new area of investment for us, The Park’s success across Europe demonstrates the quality and long-lasting appeal of its immersive VR experiences.

“We’re confident that this kind of cutting-edge entertainment will incentivise global audiences and the broader Portuguese community to travel to Porto for a truly unique experience.”

The Park Playground’s head of franchise, Bill Painter, added: “Our investors have been invaluable in steering this project in the right direction, providing a wealth of knowledge of the local market and offering guidance on how to address their needs.

"This new expansion into western Europe further reinforces the emerging trend of communities increasingly seeking new forms of entertainment, with VR and technology poised to fill this gap in the market.”
