Outdoor Net Park

So, what exactly is Bounce Forest?

Think giant outdoor playground — except the floor is made of suspended nets and the playground is tucked into the forest. Bounce Forest gives you room to jump, climb, crawl and explore at your own pace.

Bounce

The nets are part of the fun.

Large suspended net areas give kids and adults room to bounce, move and play together instead of staying on individual trampolines or following a single path.

Explore

There is no course to complete.

Move between connected areas, climb through the net park, head for the slide or circle back and do your favorite part again.

Together

Grown-ups can get in too.

Bounce Forest is designed for ages 4 and up, so parents, siblings and friends can participate instead of watching all the fun from the sidelines.

Inside Bounce Forest

More than one big net.

Rochester's Bounce Forest is built as a connected outdoor net park with multiple spaces and features to discover.

Four Rooms

Four large net rooms.

Four 20-foot by 20-foot square net rooms create large spaces for bouncing, moving and playing together.

Explore

Connected net zones.

Expansive triangular net areas add different spaces, shapes and pathways throughout the attraction.

Slide

Find your way to the slide.

Climb and explore your way through the attraction, then take the slide down and start another lap.

Climb

Take on the climbing chimney.

A vertical climbing feature adds another way to move through the net park beyond bouncing and crawling.

Looking for Something Different?

An outdoor alternative to the usual trampoline park.

If your family loves trampoline parks or indoor playgrounds, Bounce Forest gives you another way to get moving. Instead of rows of individual trampolines inside a building, you are playing outdoors on interconnected suspended nets surrounded by trees.

Bounce, climb, crawl, slide and explore instead of staying in one jumping area. The experience is open-ended, so everyone can find their own favorite part of the net park.

The Experience

No harness. No set route. Just start exploring.

Bounce Forest works differently from TreeRunner's Aerial Forest. There is no aerial trail to complete and no climbing harness to wear.
