WA's newest indoor trampoline park has opened in Port Kennedy and it is awesome. The brand new arena runs hourly sessions which are unbelievable, there is such a buzz and energy there, it just makes you want to jump! I took my three year old but I'm so going back to try it out for myself or have a go at the excerise classes.    The staff are amazing with the kids and extreamly professional. There is a strong message on safety, encouraging everyone to jump within their limits.
