PHOENIX — Batter up! A new high-tech batting cage facility and entertainment venue is opening this week in Mesa and it’s the first of its kind in Arizona.
Taroko Sports will hold the grand opening for its first Arizona location on Friday at 5 p.m.
It is located inside the Mesa Riverview shopping center near Dobson Road and Rio Salado Drive. It will be inside the old OfficeMax location near The Home Depot.
There will be a DJ, caricature artist, stilt walkers, jugglers and other performers at the grand opening. All games will also be 50% off from Friday-Sunday to celebrate opening weekend.
What will be inside Taroko Sports’ Mesa location?
The nearly 18,000-square-foot facility will have cutting-edge batting cages that will allow batters to get feedback on how far their hits travel in real time, along with ways to keep score for games.
“Our goal is to make baseball fun and accessible — not just for athletes, but for everyone,” TRK Corporation Founder and CEO Gordon Hsieh said in a press release Monday. “Taroko Sports is about creating a space where families, friends and coworkers can come together to play, compete and connect.”
Taiwan-based TRK Corporation is the parent company of Taroko Sports.
The Mesa venue will also have pitching cages, mini bowling, electronic darts, 5D racing simulators, arcade games, video games, basketball pop-a-shot games and air hockey.
There will also be 12 big-screen TVs. A majority of them will be dedicated to showing live sports, according to the release.
Taroko Sports will be open Mondays-Fridays from 11 a.m. to midnight and Saturdays and Sundays from 10 a.m. to midnight.
The company currently operates just one other U.S. location in Texas, but plans to open a facility in Chandler later this year.
