Jumper Registration Process:
Due to liability issues, the City of Hercules will no longer be taking reservations or allowing any inflatable structures or jumpers on any city property (parks and/or facilities). Safety concerns and issues surrounding the City's liability have caused the City to eliminate the use of jumpers/inflatable structures. The City apologizes for any inconvenience this may cause, but believes that the safety of residents must be a top priority.
Residents can still host parties and events at City parks, even though jumpers will no longer be permitted. Additional picnic tables and BBQ pits were added to several City parks over the summer due to high demand.
