Another great addition to the North Central area!
Filling the spot at 16th and Bethany Home once occupied by a Basha's Supermarket, Flip Dunk is a trampoline and gymnastics gym owned by Bob Woolf, best known for his work as the Phoenix Suns Gorilla.
The bouncing area includes a trampoline basketball court; along with a single rim for basketball dunking; a bungee cord section; trampoline dodge ball area; and a large open jump area with trampolines making up the floor and even the walls, so you can literally "bounce off the walls"!
The front of the house has equipment for gymnastics and even a trampoline run for doing back flips and other acrobatics.
There's seating in front for non-participants and even a balcony in back for onlookers. The gym even offers free wi-fi!
Prices are reasonable - $8 to $10 hour for open jump and gymnastics courses run around $250 for a three month class that meets once a week.
And what's even more fun, it's not age restricted. While it was certainly overrun with children on this day before Thanksgiving, even adults can go and jump if they want.
The only improvement I can suggest would be to have separate areas for the little kids and the bigger ones during open jump. A five-year-old can get taken out very easily by a 12-year-old when both are propelled by springs.
However, overall this is a five-star addition to this part of Phoenix and hopefully will stay around for many years to come.
