Mother Raises Alarm After Children Report Disturbing Incident at Trampoline Park in Tonawanda

A local trampoline park is under scrutiny after a mother reported that her young son and several other children witnessed disturbing behavior during a birthday celebration. The incident took place Sunday evening at the 'Get Air' trampoline park on Young Street in the City of Tonawanda.

According to the mother, she and her 8-year-old son arrived at the park around 5pm for a friend’s ninth birthday party. Roughly an hour into the event, the child informed her that he had seen two older children behaving inappropriately in an area marked for employees only. Initially uncertain about her son's claims, the mother became more concerned after other children began describing similar experiences, including details suggesting partially removed clothing and strange noises.

Another parent at the party also shared what their child had seen, prompting the mother to approach park management. Staff reportedly confronted the individuals involved who were later confirmed to be minors. The park's management then contacted local authorities.

The City of Tonawanda Police Department confirmed that officers responded to a service call at the park on Sunday. However, due to the involvement of minors additional details remain confidential.

The minors fled the scene before police arrived.

The mother expressed frustration not only with the nature of the alleged incident but also with what she described as poor supervision within the facility. She claimed the staff present were mostly teenagers or young adults who were gathered near the lobby, leaving the play areas under-monitored. She also raised concerns about minors being left unsupervised in general and indicated this may not have been the first time such an incident occurred at the location.

In response, 'Get Air' acknowledged the event and issued a statement asserting that the individuals involved had entered a restricted and unstaffed area of the facility. They claimed the space was not routinely monitored due to it being off-limits to guests and added that damage had been caused during the unauthorized entry. The park emphasized that the situation was isolated and involved minors, limiting law enforcement’s ability to act further.
