Rules of play
At Scramble Parkour, we prioritize safety while ensuring a fun and exciting experience for all.
Scramble is the first European-style play center inside the D.C. Metro area. Parents or guardians that bring children to the center remain responsible for them, just as if these parents or guardians were at an outdoor, public playground. Scramble and its employees strive to ensure the complete safety of all of our guests.
Parents or guardians are required to follow these general rules
It is the responsibility of parents or guardians to supervise and accompany children in Scramble with a maximum ratio of one adult for every six children six and older and one adult for every three children five and under.
The same ratios are applied for parties.
The parents or guardians must:
- Remain within the building at all times.
- Supervise their children at all times.
- Observe their children to ensure that they are capable of using the play activities safely.
- Explain the Rules of Play to their children and monitor their behavior.
