Resort Area Kids About To Get Another Outlet To Be Active With New Indoor Rec Facility

OCEAN CITY – Kids now have a new option to stay active no matter the weather thanks to a new West Ocean City facility created just for them.

Just in time for winter, Beach Bounce, West Ocean City’s first children’s indoor recreational facility, opens Friday, Oct. 30 in the space formerly occupied by CVS on Route 611. Beach Bounce is filled with inflatables, exercise equipment and arcade games designed for children under the age of 12.

“There’s nothing like this around here unless you go to Salisbury or Bethany,” said Tony Taghipour, owner of Beach Bounce.

Taghipour, a longtime member of the community and owner of several Powerhouse Gym locations, said he first started thinking about the possibility of creating a child-centered recreation center a year ago. He says it was his gym customers, many of whom have children, who put the idea in his head.

“They say they wish we had some place like Coco’s,” he said. “We saw this need.”
