Bounce House Rentals in Dublin

Dublin is one of the few Tri-Valley cities that allows inflatables in select parks β€” specifically at Emerald Glen Park with a pre-approved vendor. Compare prices from local rental companies, check park rules, and book your next party rental online.

Dublin is a fast-growing Tri-Valley city of roughly 72,000 residents, located along I-580 and I-680 in the eastern San Francisco Bay Area. Known for its strong schools, master-planned neighborhoods (Dublin Ranch, Positano, Fallon Village, Boulevard), and the sprawling Emerald Glen Park, Dublin is a top spot for family events and outdoor parties.

Unlike most Tri-Valley neighbors, Dublin actually allows bounce houses at Emerald Glen Park β€” but only at designated picnic areas (A, B, or C) and only through a pre-approved vendor list. You'll need a Certificate of Insurance ($1M), and no stakes or ground anchoring is permitted (sandbags only). Generators must sit on paved surfaces. For backyard parties, there are no city restrictions β€” just book your rental and set up.
