Frequently asked questions
Do I need a permit for a bounce house at a City of San Diego park?
Yes, a park permit is generally required for events with inflatables at City of San Diego parks. Contact the park or recreation center first to confirm availability and that your event and inflatable are allowed. Once confirmed, book your bounce house with Brian's San Diego Jumpers. We recommend starting this process at least two weeks before your event.
What size bounce house can I bring to a City of San Diego park?
Approved sizes vary by park, so there is no single answer across the City of San Diego park system. Give the park the exact dimensions of the unit you want when you request your permit. We can tell you the footprint of any bounce house in our inventory so the park can confirm it fits.
Is a generator required for a City of San Diego park rental?
Yes, a generator is required to power a bounce house at City of San Diego parks since most parks do not provide electrical outlets. The generator fee is $78, or $75 if you pay cash. The generator is guaranteed for 6 hours, so do not plug in any other equipment.
How far ahead should I book a bounce house for a City of San Diego park?
Many City of San Diego parks recommend requesting permits at least two weeks ahead of your event date. Brian's San Diego Jumpers can hold your unit for up to 3 days while you work on getting park approval. Call (619) 208-0855 as soon as you pick a date and park.
Can I set up under a tree at a City of San Diego park?
No, setup under trees is not allowed at City of San Diego parks. Plan for an open, flat area and allow at least 1 hour for our crew to set up before your event starts. Ask the park about water unit rules, since this varies and is not stated the same way at every location.
