Obstacle Course Rentals for Field Days & Birthdays
An obstacle course keeps kids moving—perfect for a school field day, church picnic, or a high-energy birthday. Here is how to pick one that fits your space and guest list without guessing.
Kingdom Inflatables is a faith-based, family team at 1237 Park Pl, Sherman, TX 75092. We deliver obstacle course rentals across Sherman and our regular Texoma towns, including places like Gunter where backyard birthdays and small campus events are common. Browse obstacle courses anytime, or pair one with bounce houses when you want two play zones.
Start with the question families ask first
“Will an obstacle course actually work at our place?” That depends on three things: a flat clear footprint, room for safe entry and exit, and ages that match the unit. When you text us, share the date, city, ages, and a quick photo or short video of the yard, gym edge, or field. We will tell you honestly if the course fits—or suggest a better size.
Do not force a long course into a tight yard. A shorter course with clear run-off is safer and more fun than a crowded long one.
Field days: keep stations simple
School and church field days work best when each station has its own space and its own adult watcher. An obstacle course is one station. Put the line where parents can see the start, and leave a calm waiting area so kids are not pushing at the entrance. Church-specific planning is in our church event guide.
Tell us:
- About how many kids will rotate through
- Age range (elementary vs mixed ages)
- Grass, turf, or indoor floor
- Whether you also want a bounce house or games nearby
We deliver, set up, and take down. Your job is to point us to the spot and keep that area clear until we finish.
Birthday parties: energy without chaos
For a Gunter or Sherman birthday, an obstacle course is great when guests are ready to climb, crawl, and race—not when you only have a handful of toddlers. Mix ages carefully. Younger kids may do better on a bounce house first, then take turns on the course with an adult at the start.
Plan for:
- One clear play path (no tables or food in the run-off)
- Shoes off or onfollow what our crew says for that unit
- A short rule list kids can remember: one at a time, wait your turn, listen to the adult in charge
Space and surface basics
Obstacle courses need more length than a standard bounce house. Measure the long side of your clear area, then leave extra room at both ends. Flat grass is common for backyard parties. Concrete or pavement needs proper anchoring (our team handles that). Indoors only works when the room, ceiling, and power allow—text us before you promise a gym setup.
Never set up over plain dirt that turns to dust, soft sand, or ground with animal droppings. If the ground looks rough, send a photo. We will help you choose a safer spot or a different rental.
Pairing with other rentals
Many Texoma families rent an obstacle course next to a bounce house, a wet/dry combo, or water slides in warmer weather. That works when each zone has space and supervision. Keep the water splash area away from the obstacle entrance so wet feet are not racing the dry course.

FAQ
How much space do I need for an obstacle course rental?
More length than a typical bounce house, plus clear entry and exit. Exact size depends on the unit. Text a photo or measurements to 903-816-5486 and we will confirm fit.
Are obstacle courses good for school field days?
Yes—when you treat the course as one supervised station with a calm line. Tell us headcount, ages, and surface so we can recommend the right size.
Can I rent an obstacle course for a backyard birthday?
Yes, if your yard has a flat clear footprint and the ages match the unit. Tight yards may fit better with a bounce house or a shorter course—ask us before party day.
Can I pair an obstacle course with a bounce house or water slide?
Yes. Many customers book two play zones. Keep each area supervised and give the course its own clear path.
