Obstacle Course Rentals in Marrero
Two-lane racing courses. Built for schools, camps and big parties.
Westbank lots tend to be larger than Eastbank, which opens up the bigger obstacle courses and combos that won't fit an Orleans Parish yard.
Why two lanes
A single-lane course is a queue. A two-lane course is a race — double the throughput and a completely different energy, because people are competing rather than waiting. For any event with rotations or a crowd, the second lane is the thing worth paying for.
Where they fit
- School field days and reward days. Class-versus-class relays with timed results give you a leaderboard.
- Camps. Rotations move fast and campers stay engaged across a whole session.
- Corporate and team building. Department relays, timed and scored.
- Big backyard parties — if you have the length. These are long rather than tall.
Space
- Obstacle courses need length, which is the constraint most people miss. Measure the run, not just the width.
- Access clearance of 42 inches, plus a vehicle route to the setup area.
- Flat ground. Grass staked, concrete sandbagged, indoors ballasted.
- Dedicated 20 amp circuit per blower within 100 feet.
Supervision
- One monitor per unit, watching the entry so riders don't stack up.
- 200 lb per rider. Ages 3 and up.
- Similar sizes racing together — mismatched sizes is where collisions happen.
Parks here run on an approved vendor list
Jefferson Parish Recreation requires you to use a vendor from its approved Spacewalk & Party Play Equipment list — and Bounce World is on it. If a company isn't on that list, JPRD won't let them set up in the park, whatever they tell you.
What JPRD requires at every park:
- You must rent a shelter — equipment is only allowed with a shelter reservation.
- You need a generator. The parks provide no electricity for inflatables. We rent them, one per inflatable.
- Dry units only. Water play equipment is prohibited at JPRD parks.
- $1,000,000 coverage per occurrence with JPRD as certificate holder — we carry it and issue the certificate.
- Your vendor receipt is due to JPRD one week before your event. This is the deadline customers miss most.
Bookings after 7:00 p.m., and any booking with alcohol, also require a police detail. Confirm current rules with JPRD when you reserve.
Westbank parks
- Johnny Jacobs Playground, PARD Playground, Estelle Playground and Parc des Familles all take shelter reservations through JPRD.
- Same rules parish-wide: approved vendor, shelter rental, generator, dry units only.
Common questions
How much space does an obstacle course need?
Length is the binding constraint rather than width. Measure the available run and the access route, which needs about 42 inches of clearance.
Are obstacle courses better than bounce houses for older kids?
Generally yes. The racing format engages older children, teenagers and adults who lose interest in open bounce areas quickly.
Can obstacle courses go indoors?
Yes, where there is floor length available. Indoor units are ballasted rather than staked.
