Fantastic as always! We are actually from Sydney but my son insists on coming here when we visit the Gold Coast multiple times per year. Very busy today being a Sunday but so well organised with lots of team members monitoring the arena. I can see at least 2 team members per area and they are definitely in control. They are interacting with the kids and so attentive. Watching them communicate with each other, as a team, is amazing! A venue extremely well run.
Well done Bounce Gold Coast! 👏🏼
Brilliant experience for my kids. We came for a 2 hour session. It wasn’t over crowded. Will definitely be coming again. My kids absolutely loved it. Highly recommend. Value for money.
We went along to the End of Term disco night time session with lights and music and 1 child loved it. The other child had to stay home sick but the friendly Bounce Manager on that night gave us 2 free day passes to make up for his paid unused night ticket. Awesome.🙌 Will definitely come along to the next night session so he can enjoy it too.
We had my son’s 6th birthday party here & we loved it! The party host was incredible - Riley! He made the whole event superb for the kids & parents, highly recommend & will definitely be back in the future.

Although I think its a great facility and I have been a member for over 5 years , this place is going down the tubes. Lap lanes are pretty much non-existent . As I was informed from a pool attended we have a culture where we do not ask people to follow centre rules as they don't speak good English. So groups of usually 4 or 5 just jump into lap lanes and stand there doing everything but swimming. You now just have to swim around them.

Its seems now you can bommie and dive into the lap lanes also. You can pretty much do what you want in the lap pool now.

If your in group just 1 can pay for the wellness centre and everyone else your with can go in with you or just wait near the door and walk in after members. Or some leave a ticket on the entry scanner and you can use that if you like.

The change rooms floors are turn black with mould and are rife with tinea so if your in foot fungus you're in luck.
The new bball management (East Perth eagle basketball association) is a joke. The lady who seems like an organizer is very arrogant and unprofessional.
Gym is small, courts look great
This use to be an amazing local sporting hub for the Morley area. New management came in and ruined the reputation morley rec centre once had. Came in and introduced a bunch of punitive policies. A lot of locals are talking and unhappy with the changes new management have implemented. Not to mention the arrogant and dismissive attitudes they brought with them. What a shame
Wonderfull staff, great place to be. Love all the services available.😍

We went into Bounce Inc to have some fun as 2 adults. The place was way too busy with little children Saturday morning. Definitely don’t go until the afternoon/evening.

The manager and staff were really great. They suggested we come back later which was absolutely the right decision. Thanks!
I had a worst experience. One of the staff member approached us and asked us to find a spot in slow lane. There was no empty spot in a slow lane and no one of the fast lane. So we kept swimming until one of the staff member chased us. Felt like stray dog being chased away.
Better do not sell the tickets if there is no spot. We pay for every single entry, don’t waste our money. Never gonna come back.

Nexus fair held every few months. Get great collectables there, including Disney, Lego, Star Wars, and much more
Great basketball camp for kids and training for kids.
Great location, a lot of parking.
The gym is nice and modern with well maintained equipment. Let down by the oddest layout I think I've ever seen. There's literally no room for free weights. Dumbbells are tucked in a corner and three benches are sort of placed at random spots nearby.

Maybe lose some of the super niche machines and create a wall with free weights and benches. You know Iike every single other gym.
This place is incredible! These guys take their track building seriously and there's a lot of woodwork to show for it (plenty of berms, bridges, board-walks, jumps and ramps. The Rollercoaster and Boris are just two of my highlights, the latter of which can be daunting but is easy enough if you keep your cadence up. I wouldn't call myself the most technical rider, but I've never come off it. It's a must visit!!
Monday night bball, under new management.
Forced us to play 4 on 4 because we could only provide 1 scorer, despite only providing 1 referee. Not their fault for being undermanned, but it's a regular occurrence with no apology or consolation. Manager chomped at us because "she's trying to look after 4 courts" like it's difficult to stick a bunch of sacrastic teenagers with whistles on each one. $70 bucks per-team, per-game, plus a new annual player rego fee to be treated like scum.
Courts are well maintained, though.

Magic place that my daughter just loves. Huge in size and something for everyone, even toddlers. Very well priced for what you get. Range of food in cafe is ok and tastes ok. Book online in advance as cam sell out sessions during school holidays.
The coaches made my child feel safe and have built they're confidence and self esteem. The facilities are always clean and welcoming.
All of the team are friendly and professional ensuring children know the safety rules while making it a fun experience.
Had a great experience with Lawn Bowling!
Nice place and clean
It has one long slide and outside aqua play area
Fantastic gym and Recreation Centre highly recommended

Very good gym. A wide range of facilities for many different exercises. The patrons here are friendly and don't bother you during training. The addition of CrowdDJ means you can request your own music and play it in the gym if you've forgotten your earbuds or headphones. Definitely worth getting a membership here if you study at UWA or live in the area.
Lakeside Aussie hoops program is pathetic. They use small kids to coach. They don’t even understand the basics of basketball. The drills are useless, might as well go to a dancing class, watching them is like torture.A complete waste to money.
Went to a concert held at the bowling club. We sat on the grass and had a great night. Beer was cold and the hospitality warm . Loved it
this place has a awesome smell of chlorine! the water slide is so fun and not scary, the water playground is so fun, the water temperature is always perfect for how hot or cold it is outside, the food is yummy + good drink options.

Nice place overall, but there always seems to be something broken/not operating on daily basis. Your lines of communication seem to be very casual, I emailed to update my membership (pay you more money) 8weeks ago and still no reply/confirmation and when you approach the customer service staff they never have a straight answer. although I understand your staff are unusually minors is there not a single supervisor/ duty officer that can handle your inquiries? Please id like to use all your facilities on a weekly basis please.

UPDATE: We came back the following weekend dressed for success- and loved it even more! .......
FIRST REVIEW: First-time bouncer! Chelsea provided excellent customer service at the front door, and the rest of team were heaps helpful. Loved it - & baby boy slept for hours afterwards!
Ballroom Fit have run a weekly dance class for people living with a disability at the Cannington Leisureplex since 2019.
The management and staff have always been helpful.
The complex has free parking, is very accessible, clean and well maintained.

Good experience. The tv screen is alot smaller than the larger screens I'm used to at the MCG and Marvel. My eyes aren't great so I couldn't see them very clearly. Otherwise it was great and this wouldn't affect people with 20/20 vision
All time great place for sports and worship.
great effort in promoting sports , friendship, community mix, and kids discipline thru sports (Basketball).
keep it up
Not happy about staff in the pool. My child came specifically to use the slide but the area was closed. Upon asking one of the staff why the are was closed, he informed me that their was less staff. This is not the first time that the sliding section has been closed but it has occurred in several occasions.

really beautiful❤️
A man by the jack Lawrence asked me for my snap multiple times I said no but he kept going. Eventually he got sick of the denial, he then started using racial slurs at me because of the colour of my skin Tone.
The quality of the place and the equipment are standard.
The atmosphere is friendly and the parking has also a lot of free space most often.
A wonderful recreation and a meeting place close to the city of Perth. They have a good bar and short snacks, and plenty of cool drinks.

I left UWA a year ago and despite numerous times contacting them and demanding that my membership is cancelled, I am still being charged every month. The most recent charge has come at a time where I am very short for cash and needing to pay rent, so due to them constantly charging me without permission I am facing possible homelessness. Mid af gym btw.
Nice place with many facilities. Great bar pool tables and in a great spot
A quiet female friendly place to exercise and get fit.

I have played there for nearly three years. I feel the centre has a lot of racism. From the referees and the players in the comp for netball. They refuse to allow an indigenous team to play and they also pick of the indigenous players. If I could give zero stars I would. I have made several complaints over the three years and yet nothing has changed. And I feel the racism goes up through to management.
Went there for a free outdoor concert. Low chairs at the front high chairs at the back, standard procedure, however after getting there an hour and a half before the concert started, just as the first act was about to commence, a woman on a walker went right to front, sat on her walker and blocked everyone's view. The guy with her had a high back chair as well and nobody did anything about it. Very poor organisation.
My son has been training football there for several years. But also lovely atmosphere for parents. Have your coffee and enjoy a great view on Lake Monger. One of the best places in Perth!
Good gym aswell a kindergym one day a week good facilitys good service to the community...

I'm not sure whether fencing is such a noisy sport. If so, the venue should not be rented to fencing team and ball games at the same time. It is no exaggeration to say that my friends and I were shouted by the fencers next door that we were going to have a heart attack.

And the sign on the wall clearly lists only three ball games. When we used to play badminton here, the basketball player next door would shout, but that was completely within our acceptable range. Today's experience really annoys all of us.

I booked the court one week in advance, but I received a notice that our reservation was cancelled just the day before, WITH NO REASON. Excuse me???

We filed a complaint and got compensation for another period, But when I confirmed it by phone later, I was told by another employee that there was no information about our reservation. Excuse me???

A manager later helped us solve this problem, but in any case, this unpleasant experience and our wasted time made us feel like: EXCUSE ME???
Very popular place on weekends and public holidays lots of jetskis around has a children's playground and not far to boat ramp just across the road is the fish and chips shop and a caravan park

Such a great beach for water sports. When the wind is from the South West its the best option for kite surfing, wind surfing & winging.

One of the best squash courts in Perth at great rates. However, as there are only four courts, bookings have to be made well in advance. They have an online booking system which shows available slots and you are required to pay at the time of booking.
Socials for Vic park squash club usually run from 9am to 11am on Saturdays and you can have a hit even if you are not a club member.
If you are a member of Vic Park squash club, there are practice sessions for intermediate to advanced players on Thursday evenings usually from 6pm to 8.30pm.

Nice place to sit under the shade of a tree to watch the sailing boats navigate the calm water. On-street parking only. Great walking/cycle tracks linking beaches along the coastline. Mullet was jumping near the rock wall.
A really nice little club, with food and drinks available, with an amazing view of the lake.
The club also hosts an array of indoor and outdoor activities throughout the week; such as various dance classes, archery, bowls, 5 a side soccer, pool, darts and cards.
They also have a community shed which is really great.
Overall it's really a fantastic club.

I play squash here and the roof is dodgy as. We have lost so many balls up in the holes filled with fluff. The fluff is disintegrating and falls out frequently.
We pay enough for the courts that it would be nice to not have wire and fluff falling down on the court and an abyss where balls are never to be seen again. Maybe they should provide balls???
Recently under new management and it's coming apart in a big way.

Added some annual costs for players - with explanation - fine. But the end product as a consumer is a higher priced experience that has lowered substantially in quality;

- Facility upkeep (basketball nets are hanging by a thread, pardon the pun, for weeks without being replaced)

- Referees now exempt from any form of scoring which means 4v4 is compulsory now if both teams arrive with 5 players

- Ceiling fans to basketball courts switched off during play (on 40 degree days) for final game time slot

- Poor scheduling (our basketball team has been scheduled for 4 straight 9:15pm games - which happens to be when the fans are turned off)

...to name a few.

Essentially, regression in a big way at a higher cost. Some might argue that some of these things are the case everywhere, but these things haven't been the case at Morley until recently - and I've played there for 20 years. Geographically the only option for team members on Monday nights, so we're stuck with regression until we stop playing, it seems.

Disappointing.

Has 3 volleyball + Basketball and 6 Badminton courts which need to be booked beforehand as there isn't much space. The courts are not ventilated too well so get really hot in the summer but nothing too bad.

Also has Lawn tennis available.
Its a good place to take the dog. Always clean. Busy sometimes, and you have to decide if you will stay if there are alot of jet skis around, they are noisy. But generally it is a cool spot to sit under the trees.
Chose this gym for the creche access. Great gym vibe. Community centered and the membership price is great.

ETA: 3 years later
I'm still at this gym. The staff are wonderful and the facilities are great. It's still community centred and membership options/prices are reasonable. Love this gym!
