Obstacle Course Rentals in New Orleans
Two-lane racing courses. Built for schools, camps and big parties.
New Orleans yards are narrow. Shotguns, doubles and camelbacks often have one side gate as the only route to the back, so measure the narrowest point of the whole path before you book. Older wiring also trips easily — check which breaker your outlet is on.
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 in Orleans Parish
- City Park — not allowed. The park prohibits bounce houses, water slides and water-play structures. Here's the rule and the alternatives.
- Audubon Park — allowed with a permit. $75 for gatherings of 25 or more, $150 at the Tree of Life, and events can't start after 5pm. Permit guide.
- Any public park: a generator from us at one per inflatable, a $35 park fee, and a certificate of insurance at 4.5%.
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.
