Officials in suburban Orland Park are seeking to revoke the
business license of an indoor recreation facility after police were called to a
large gathering at the location Saturday.
According to village officials, Orland Park police were
called to Sky Zone Trampoline Park on Saturday evening after receiving reports
of a fight inside the business. According to a release, the facility was hosting
a lock-in at the time of the call.
When officers arrived on the scene, a large group of
children were observed by police, which village officials say “exceeded the
maximum occupancy permitted for that facility and presented a clear and present
danger to the health, safety and welfare of those present.”
Police shut the event down, and ordered everyone present to
find rides home.
After the event was stopped, Sky Zone was cited for multiple
violations, including two reckless conduct violations and a fire code occupancy
violation, according to village officials.
Now, village officials are seeking to revoke the facility’s business
license.
“Intentional and willful acts that jeopardize public health,
safety and welfare, and that are in clear violation of the Village Code and
other laws, have no place in our community,” Orland Park Mayor Keith Pekau said
in a statement.
NBC 5 is awaiting comment from the operators of Sky Zone in
connection with the incident.
