About Us:

We opened our doors in Camberley in June 2014 as one of the UK’s first fully featured trampoline parks transforming what was once an industrial warehouse into a trampoline filled play area for participants of all ages.

The idea remains simple. Bring people together, get active, get fit and have a ton of fun while doing so. Whether you’re flying across main court, diving into our giant foam pit, playing an intense game of dodgeball warfare, breaking new ground in one of our fitness classes or competing with your friends to see who can land the smoothest dunk.

We now also operate trampoline parks in Sunderland and St Albans with many more parks planned for the future. Each of the parks has its own management structure supported by a team at our head office which provides expertise in marketing, finance, business planning, human resources and other core business functions.
