Lemont Park District Gets Two New Bounce Houses

LEMONT, IL — The Lemont Park District unveiled its two new bounce houses at the annual New Year's Eve event at the CORE. The bounce houses were given by the Lemont Park Foundation.

The park district said it offers a wide variety of events throughout the year that utilize the bounce houses. From the H2O Egg-Venture to Fall Fest to Independence Day and the New Year’s Eve Bash, nearly 7,000 people attend district special events annually. With more people, the park district said the waiting in line for the inflatable also increases.

To serve the agency’s growing programs and events, the park district said it was in much need of an additional inflatable feature to accommodate the rise in attendees. Additionally, the current bounce house had reached the end of its life, so two new bounce houses were needed.

With two inflatables, the park district said one will be designated for kids three and under, and the other for kids four and up. The park district requested assistance from the Lemont Park Foundation to provide two new 15-foot bounce houses, which the foundation provided.

The Lemont Park Foundation is made up of volunteers in the community. The park district said the group improves, provides, and expands the Lemont Park District’s parks, programs, facilities and resources to improve the quality of life for residents. In recent years, the foundation has raised funds for new mobile computer labs for the park district preschool, and has donated the outdoor/indoor movie screen.
