Launch Trampoline Park on 86th Street in Bay Ridge Closed

Launch Trampoline Park at 531 – 86th Street in Bay Ridge closed. This is the business that opened at the former Modell’s location.

Launch announced their closure on their social media account and then deleted their account, so Bay Ridge residents are questioning what happened.

It’s disappointing to see this closure as Launch opened in May 2025 after many months of setting up.

Some parents in Bay Ridge paid for memberships at Launch, so they weren’t happy.

Some parents wanted to save the business and reached out to Council member Kayla Santosuosso to see if there was anything that could be done. Santosuosso said unpaid rent was the problem:

This building is owned by Tim Ziss. In February, Crains reported that Ziss sued Sammy Alsidi, the owner of Launch, for more than $300,000 in allegedly unpaid rent. Alsidi argued that construction delays and problems with the project justified withholding rent. See article:
