A signature commercial development in Pella is on the cusp of opening. Luke Ballenger is the Co-Owner of Pella Entertainment Group, the franchisee of Smash Park Pella, and says the entertainment, recreation, and restaurant complex is set to open to the public Tuesday, with a grand opening celebration this Friday through Sunday.

“It’s super exciting, I think this process started three years ago in our initial meetings to make this come to life and we’ve come a long way since then,” he says. “It’s a really good feeling to be sitting in here and be surrounded by our employees and the guests that have come.”

Ballenger says several groups have been through Smash Park over the past week during a soft opening, and he’s excited to bring the experience to the community he called home growing up. Hear more about the opening of Smash Park Pella on today’s Let’s Talk Pella. Read more here.
