Hillsborough Sports & Events Venue Fully Opens, Changes Name

HILLSBOROUGH, NJ — Formerly known as the APEX, the sport and event venue at 137 Mountain View Road in Hillsborough has fully opened and changed its name to Iron Peak Sports & Events.

"Our facility is designed to provide a unique and memorable experience for all of our guests," states Gregg Wilke, long-time Hillsborough resident and managing partner. "We believe our name should reflect that mission, and Iron Peak Sports & Events will set us apart in the marketplace."

Along with three outdoor turf fields that have been open since June, Iron Peak Sports & Events is opening the rest of its facility including four basketball courts, eight volleyball courts, a full-sized indoor turf field under a dome bubble, multiple meeting space options, and full-service concessions.

Additionally, Cliffhanger Entertainment, a brand-new adventure area featuring a ninja course, climbing walls, ropes course, and redemption arcade, opened within the 140,000 square-foot building.

"We’ve been eagerly anticipating this day, and can’t wait to show off our new building and our broad lineup of offerings," said Wilke.

In light of the coronavirus, the facility has sent up a number of protocols and procedures to provide guests with a safe experience while inside the building. These include temperature screenings for all guests, increased frequency of cleaning in high-touch areas, and multiple hand sanitization stations located throughout the facility. The climbing walls and arcade areas will be frequently sanitized with a special disinfectant spray, designed to reduce the potential spread of germs. Masks are required for anyone inside unless participating in an activity that requires strenuous cardio.

"We are committed to working within the state guidelines and CDC recommendations so that our guests feel comfortable enjoying all of our resources," said Iron Peak General Manager Sandra Weingart.

Iron Peak Sports & Events is open every day and can be visited between 3 to 11 p.m. Monday through Friday, and from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday.
