Department of Labor and Illinois Trampoline Park Reach Safety Agreement

The Illinois Department of Labor has settled with an Illinois Trampoline park owner to enhance safety across all of the park's locations in the state.

Safety Improvements to Trampoline Park Locations Across Illinois

According to a press release from the Illinois Governor's Office, this agreement follows an inspection by IDOL’s Amusement Rides and Attraction Safety Division (ARAS), which issued a stop order at the Elevate Trampoline Park's Milan location in March 2024, prohibiting use of its main trampoline court until specific safety issues were addressed.

However, upon a reinspection in May, ARAS discovered that the Milan park had continued operations on its main trampoline court despite the stop order.
