San Ramon Park Rules for Inflatables
Bounce houses, trampolines, bungee jumping devices, and any other rebound tumbling devices are not permitted in any City of San Ramon park. This policy is referenced in the city's Picnic Reservation guidelines alongside Municipal Code Section B6-73. All inflatable rentals in San Ramon are delivered to private property — backyards, driveways, schools, churches, and corporate venues.
Inflatables banned in all city parks
The City of San Ramon explicitly prohibits bounce houses, trampolines, bungee devices, and any rebound tumbling equipment in every city park — no exceptions, no permits available. This applies to Central Park, Athan Downs, Memorial Park, Rancho San Ramon, and all other city parks.
Vehicles cannot drive into parks
Vehicles are not permitted to drive into San Ramon parks. Even if a park were to allow inflatables in the future, rental companies would need to transport equipment on foot or by cart from parking areas.
Picnic reservations available (no inflatables)
You can reserve group picnic areas for parties — up to 200 people at Central Park or Athan Downs, 100 at Rancho San Ramon Community Park, and 24 at Memorial Park. Reservations are made online at SanRamonRecGuide.com. But inflatables are not allowed at any reserved area.
Non-residents: weekday reservations only
Non-San Ramon residents may only reserve picnic areas for Monday through Friday use. Weekend reservations at popular parks are restricted to residents.
Backyard setups are unrestricted
No city permit is needed for bounce house setups on private residential property. You can use any vendor, any size unit, and set up on your own schedule. Just ensure flat ground, adequate clearance, and access to a power outlet or generator.
