About

Regulars who remember the superhero climbing structure should know it is not there any more. What sits in its place is a trampoline zone with a fifty-six-inch height limit, so the play half of this branch now suits smaller children while the games half carries everyone else — and the games are the part reviewers rate highest, several calling the new machines the best reason to come.

Two visitors describe that jump zone going unwatched: children climbing in without a ticket, jumping barefoot where socks are required, and bigger kids holding the floor while a toddler waited for a gap. One of them ended up asking a group of parents directly to make room. Neither reports any harm and both otherwise enjoyed themselves, but a parent with a two-year-old should expect to stand at the netting rather than sit down with the pizza. A light-up floor game near the toddler end holds younger children well and needs no supervision at all.

Weekends here run at roughly twice weekday levels and Saturday late afternoon is this branch's busiest stretch, so a weekday visit, or a Saturday before noon, is the difference between a jump zone you can keep an eye on and one you cannot.
