Gilbert area residents now have a new reason to bounce up and down with excitement, Elevate Trampoline Park is opening the doors, introducing a new generation of fun, creativity, and community-based entertainment. 


With existing locations in Queen Creek and Mesa, Elevate is taking the next leap in expansion with a third Arizona park designed to take active play to new heights.

Leading the charge of the new park's launch is Kimberly Wesolowski, Vice President of Operations at Elevate and a Gilbert native. Although new to the Elevate family, Wesolowski brings a deep history of business growth and strategy development and a personal connection to the area that makes this spot more meaningful.

"I grew up in Gilbert, and it's truly special to be involved in opening something new in my hometown," Wesolowski remarked. "I'm an ASU alumnus and moved out of state for about a decade, but coming home with my family has been so special, especially now that I get to do this kind of experience with local families."

That family-centered focus is no coincidence. Wesolowski is the proud mom of three energetic boys who are more than ready to bounce into Elevate’s newest adventure. “They think it’s the coolest job I’ve ever had,” she said. “They’re my unofficial product testers and they give me honest feedback, reminding me who we’re building this park for.”

So what makes the new park stand out? Wesolowski says the staff has pulled  out all the stops to design experiences that are more than normal trampoline fun. "We've thought a lot and been super creative about this park. It's loaded with attractions that are not only active but imaginative."

Visitors can anticipate interactive play that's woven into the attractions, giving children new and fun ways to get moving. From climbing walls, foam pits, and obstacle courses, to competition jumping zones, everything in the park is designed to promote movement, laughter, and excitement.

And it was not made with just kids in mind. "We've also made a conscious effort to include spaces for parents," noted Wesolowski. "Our café is great for snacks and drinks, and we have plenty of seating in the air conditioning. We want parents to be able to spend their time here just as much as their children, whether that's participating in the fun or relaxing while their little ones enjoy themselves."

Elevate is also a great spot for parties, group outings, and school field trips. "Family entertainment is such a great business," Wesolowski said. "We get to be the highlight of a kid's week, whether they're celebrating a birthday, enjoying a special event with their family, or coming here with a school field trip."

Wesolowski sees these moments as the core of their mission. "At the end of the day, it's about being a part of someone's happiest moments. We get to help families to celebrate, and we don't take that lightly."

With the Gilbert park now open, Wesolowski and her team are already thinking about what’s next. “Our five-year plan is all about community,” she said. “We want to be a staple in Gilbert. We’ll continue evolving, adding new attractions, and listening to what our guests want.”

Elevate Trampoline Park is located on Val Vista and Guadalupe in Gilbert. Families can get timely information on special promotions, grand opening events, and new features announcements through the official website at wwww.elevatefun.com or by following Elevate on social media.

Wesolowski invites everyone to come experience the park for themselves. “Whether you’re a kid, a parent, or a grandparent, there’s something here for everyone,” she said. “We can’t wait to welcome Gilbert families into our park and be part of their everyday fun and unforgettable celebrations.”

"At the end of the day, it's about being a part of someone's happiest moments."
