Headline: Bounce Back on Marlton Pike — Replay Trampoline Park Eyes Route 70 at the Cherry Hill / Evesham Line

A new family entertainment option is lining up to open along Marlton Pike (Route 70) at the Cherry Hill / Evesham border, and for residents who live off I‑295 this one will be easy to get to. Replay Trampoline and Amusement Center — a chain that blends wall-to-wall trampolines with arcade games, climbing elements, party rooms and more — is set to take a storefront on Route 70 later this year, according to local reporting.
Why this matters for Cherry Hill, Marlton Pike, and drivers off I‑295
– Marlton Pike (Route 70) is one of South Jersey’s busiest east‑west retail corridors. When an entertainment operator like Replay moves into a former retail space it’s a signal: landlords are pivoting from traditional retail to experience-driven tenants that draw families and weekday foot traffic.
– For residents who use I‑295 to commute or run errands, the Route 70 corridor is one of the most convenient off-ramps for family activities. Whether you come from Exit 31/Exit 32 area (depending on your direction) or local roads, Replay adds another weekend destination that keeps spending local.
– The park is likely to create dozens of part‑time and full‑time jobs — typical for trampoline/amusement centers — and will probably drive additional customers to neighboring restaurants, coffee shops, and service businesses on Route 70.
What Replay is (and what locals can expect)
Replay markets itself as more than a trampoline court. Locations nationwide commonly include open jump courts and dodgeball areas, foam pits, climbing walls, arcade games, birthday party rooms, and concessions. Yelp reviews for other Replay locations tend to highlight upbeat staff, big birthday crowds on weekends, and the usual notes about pricing and wait times — useful context for parents planning visits. (See Yelp for on-the-ground customer impressions.)
Location context and neighborhood fit
– The spot sits on Route 70 right where Cherry Hill meets Evesham — a stretch that blends strip retail, standalone restaurants, and family services. Google Maps places this corridor as a hub for local errands and regional trips alike; that same visibility will benefit an entertainment tenant that relies on drive-up convenience and impulse visits.
– Nearby businesses could see a bump in traffic. Parents dropping kids for a birthday party often pick up dinner or coffee nearby, and weekend crowds can spill into adjacent shopping centers. On the flip side, increased weekend traffic could strain parking in tighter plazas and add to morning/evening congestion on Marlton Pike — something municipal planners and business owners will want to monitor.
How this fits regional development trends
Across New Jersey and the country, landlords are filling formerly big-box or retail spaces with experience-based tenants: fitness concepts, indoor playgrounds, escape rooms, distribution showrooms, and family entertainment centers. Local reporting outlets such as NJ.com and Patch have covered similar shifts, noting that experiential uses often extend the economic life of aging shopping centers. Replay’s move to Route 70 follows that pattern — trading transactional retail for time‑based experiences that encourage longer stays and recurring visits.
Community reaction and what to watch for
– Parents: Expect to keep an eye on grand opening announcements, birthday-party pricing, and weekday open-jump hours. Replay locations typically post hiring notices in advance of openings — a chance for local teens and college students to pick up hours.
– Nearby businesses: This could be an opportunity to coordinate (cross-promote party packages with restaurants, for example), but also a moment to revisit parking and pedestrian access if weekend crowds grow.
– Municipal leaders: Traffic flow on Marlton Pike and impact on adjacent neighborhoods are legitimate concerns. If Replay brings strong weekend draw, Cherry Hill and Evesham might need to monitor curbside parking and ingress/egress patterns.
