Get ready to jump into a new era – £1.3M Trampoline Park refurbishment agreed!
Families, get ready! Something big, bright and bouncy is coming to Barking Sporthouse & Gym!
Barking Sporthouse & Gym has announced a fantastic £1.3 million redevelopment of its much-loved Trampoline Park and junior activity areas, bringing a whole new world of active fun for children aged 0–16. Inspired by the hugely popular GLL Play Parks in Sutton, Gosling and Sobell, the new space is being completely reimagined to give families more reasons than ever to play, explore and spend time together.
What’s New? A Whole Play Park Packed with Adventure
When the upgraded Play Park opens, visitors can look forward to an exciting mix of activities that blend physical play, imagination and interactive challenges:
- Strike Arena – a thrilling multi-level zone where kids can race, compete and take on interactive challenges
- Giant Inflatable Activity Zone - replacing the former dodgeball courts, perfect for bouncing, climbing and conquering obstacles
- New sports pitch for energetic games and team fun
- Upgraded trampoline courts complete with brand-new springs, padding and a safe airbag landing system
- Four new party rooms boosting birthday capacity by 100% and giving families more celebration options
- A dedicated Under-6s Soft Play Zone in the café area, featuring colourful two-storey structures, sensory elements and improved family seating
Why the Upgrade?
The current trampoline park, installed in 2015, has been enjoyed by thousands of families over the years. Now, this major investment from GLL’s capital programme will take the experience to a whole new level; creating a fresh, inclusive, high-quality environment that supports active play for all ages.
What to Expect During the Works
To bring the new Play Park to life, the Trampoline Park will temporarily close for approximately 12 weeks. Whilst the project takes place, the rest of the centre will remain open as normal. When the doors reopen, families can look forward to a brighter, bigger and more exciting destination designed to boost activity, spark imagination and make every visit memorable.
A Growing Centre for Local Families
This project follows the successful gym refurbishment completed in 2024 and forms part of a wider plan to continually improve the centre’s facilities for the community.
Barking Sporthouse & Gym is excited to welcome families back to a transformed Play Park—bursting with energy, imagination and adventure.
