Get bounce back into your day

ThreeSixty Trampoline Park at Caroline Springs has launched the vintage sport of young people in the 1950s and ’60s into a whole new dimension.

Maybe this explains why father Branson Lim’s passion to build a great business based on sport and fun has inspired his three sons, Timothy, Alex and Michael, to join the action.

As the website says: “ThreeSixty lets you fly high and land soft … it’s a place where you defy the laws of gravity, soar high and let yourself go.”

Venue manager Timothy Lim says the family-run and community-orientated centre is the first of its kind in Melbourne’s outer west, and is proving a massive hit.

“Being a sporting family ourselves, we have created a safe environment where the children can bounce, jump and hop around to their hearts’ content,” Timothy says.

“Our friendly and highly-trained Team ThreeSixty members are never too far away to help you or show you a few tricks.”

All team members, including a sponsored skateboarder and dance teacher, have a passion for sports and working with children.

The centre has a free-jump section, including 36 interconnected trampolines, where youngsters can bounce about safely and under supervision. There are also basketball rings above trampolines so anyone can get that slam dunk in.

A mini-jump session allows adults to bounce with younger children aged from three to five years old. For the more proficient, there’s a wall runner, where bravehearts can rebound off the trampolines to run up the wall.

“I especially love working with children with disabilities,” Timothy says. “I spent two summers working as a counsellor for children with special needs in America.”

Timothy says the team at ThreeSixty is happy to teach anyone how to do tricks and moves on any of the high-performance, gymnastic-grade trampolines, subject to a minimum height requirement for users.

One-hour trampoline sessions are available on the hour, during which time guests can use any feature at the venue. Guests are encouraged to book and pay online to ensure they don’t miss out on their desired day and time.

The centre also hosts dodgeball tournaments, which are a knockout style game, on Thursday nights from 7pm.

It is also an ideal place for kids’ birthday parties and for fundraising events for groups and clubs.
