Hola! A couple of weeks ago, I was invited to Jump Street Media Appreciation Day. The trampoline parks located in a warehouse behind Jaya One is an exciting urban playground for adults and children alike with hundreds of interconnected trampolines from the floor right up the walls and multiple jumping attractions at every venue. Do you know you would burn the same amount of calories in just ten minutes of trampolining as you would jogging for half-an-hour? Trampoline also reduced the impact on your limbs by 80 per cent compares to pounding up and down on concrete. 



The park is divided into several sections with a main court featuring over 9,000 square feet of interconnected trampolines, two dodge ball courts, a foam pit, basketball and kids' courts, a high performance area with six Olympic-spec trampolines and vertical running walls of different heights.

Get ready for  an exciting line-up for its adrenaline junkies with fun-filled sport activities such as Inter Trampoline Competition in September, Dodge Ball Tournament in October and Urban Sport Festival in November.

Are you ready to enjoy the thrill of flight at Malaysia’s BIGGEST indoor trampoline parks?  Whether you are new to trampolines or an expert aerial athlete, Jump Street has a fun activity for everyone. Jump around in the open court, play trampoline dodge ball, hone your aerial skills in the high performance area or enjoy a meal and a coffee at Jump Café.
