Jesse Fulton, the man behind Icarus Skate and Snow Shop, and the Shreducation snow school and Disney show, is not a man who sits around and waits for
things to happen. That is why it comes as no surprise
that he is one of the people heading up what is going to be "North America’s largest
indoor multi sport facility." 365 Sports will be a 120,000 square foot indoor training
facility that will house a Snowflex dry slope for snowboarding and skiing, trampolines for aerial training, skate and BMX park, rock-climbing wall, volleyball courts, paintball, an indoor standing wave and so much more. If one man can dream big enough for a project like this, it's Jesse Fulton.
The space aspires to be home to both training and events, allowing for a transformation from packed sports complex to spectator-friendly event space. Retail space and high-tech HD video replay are also on the book to be integrated from day one. No longer will parents be bored while waiting for their kids, as they'll be serviced with a VIP area that will allow them to do work or just relax instead of tapping their watches in anticipation.
Currently Jesse, along with partners Sean Rowe, Derek Driscoll and business manager Perry Meeker (and some undisclosed investors) have raised $10
million for the facility and are in the negotiations with several southern Ontario locations that are keen to add the sportsplex to their town’s map.
