A scenic destination for birthday parties and field trips alike is preparing to close for good in San Francisco’s Presidio.
House of Air, the city’s only trampoline park, operating inside Building 926 at Crissy Field for the past 16 years, announced a decision not to renew its lease, which ends in March. General manager Daniel Matsumoto cited an inability to come to an agreement with the Presidio Trust, which owns the 8,000-square-foot building. As the San Francisco Chronicle first reported, he said the cost of a new long-term lease was “well above what a trampoline park in this space can support.”
“The Trust is required to be financially self-sufficient, and we understand they need to charge market rates for these buildings,” he wrote in an email to the outlet. (The Chronicle and SFGATE are both owned by Hearst but have separate newsrooms.)

Housed in a converted 1921 airplane hangar, the venue was conceptualized by Dave Schaeffer and Paul McGeehan one day while driving back from a snowboarding trip in Lake Tahoe. The park is best known for “The Matrix” — its main attraction featuring 42 conjoined trampolines — as well as a dodgeball colisseum, training ground for athletes practicing extreme sports and an AirTrak basketball court.
Its last day in operation is Feb. 15, with gift cards, rentals and monthly passes honored until then. A farewell event is also on the horizon; the venue encouraged visitors to sign up for its email list for more information.

“Turning a 1921 hangar into a trampoline park took years of hard work and a lot of people who believed in the idea,” co-founder McGeehan wrote in a statement. “We’re proud of what we built, and grateful we got to build in here, with the Golden Gate Bridge out our front door.”
SFGATE reached out to the Presidio Trust regarding the future of the building but did not hear back by publication time.
