Recent visitors to South Kuta can't help but notice the heightened level of street-side activity in evidence along Jalan Kartika Plaza.
Across the street from the imposing new Discovery Kartika Plaza Mall, Bali's 3.8 hectare Waterbom Park have installed an eye-catching large white geodesic dome on the sidewalk - an impressive sight impossible to miss for pedestrians and passing motorists.
The Dome
Known locally as "The Dome," the structute houses a set of trampolines and support safety harnesses that provide supervised and safe opportunities for both the young and less-so-young to perform weightless high jumps and somersaults. With bounces measured at up to 9 meters high, the mandatory safety harness and trained supervisory staff ensure aspiring humpty-dumpty's complete their trampoline sessions fully intact.
Feel Like Spiderman?
Also new at the park is a ten-meter high rock wall-face offering those wishing to try their hand at mountain climbing a choice of climbs of various degrees of difficulty. Again, supervision is provided and support harnesses equipped with hydaulic relays provide for optimal safety and assure everyone makes it to the top.
The new attractions at Waterbom are open each day from 11:00 a.m. until 11:00 p.m..
Cost for adults is Rp. 60,000 (approximately US$6.50) and for children Rp. 45,000 (approximately US$4.90).
