Bounce! Trampoline Sports
Trampoline (now an official Olympic sport) and trampoline parks have recently seen a huge increase in popularity. New York’s first trampoline park is now open in Valley Cottage! The 25,000-square-foot facility features several wall-to-wall trampolines and trampolines on the angled walls, so there’s no risk of bouncing off and getting hurt. There’s also a foam jump pit, arcade and a special trampoline area just for the younger kids. Kids love to jump, and trampolines are also great exercise for all parts of the body, making Bounce! The perfect place for kids to stay healthy and burn off some energy, even during the cooler months. Aside from the open jump time, Bounce! also hosts birthday parties, fitness classes for adults, as well as trampoline dodgeball and slam dunk basketball leagues and games.
