Two new amusement parks in Hafnarfjörður this year 

Updated 22 January 2025

At a meeting of the Environmental and Executive Council of Hafnarfjörður on 22 January 2025, a discussion was held regarding the proposed location of a bouncy castle on Holtinu. The council thanks residents for their useful comments regarding the location of the bouncy castle at Álfholt and is abandoning the proposed location. Proposals for a new location on Hvaleyrarholti are being prepared.

Where two jump together, there is fun.

It has been decided to install two new adventure playgrounds in Hafnarfjörður in 2025 on selected open spaces in the town intended for public outdoor recreation. The project responds to residents' calls for adventure playgrounds in more parts of the town, and within as many neighbourhoods as possible.  

Jumping at Hörðuvellir and the Hill  

At a meeting of the Environmental and Operations Committee of Hafnarfjörður on 30th October, it was agreed to answer a call from residents and increase the number of bouncy castles in the town. It is planned to install one bouncy castle in an open area bordered by Háholti, Hvaleyrarbraut and Álfholti, and the other in an open area at Hörðuvellir. The areas are designated for general outdoor recreation and therefore do not require any planning changes. There are currently five inflatable play areas in Hafnarfjörður, and so the number will be seven once these two are operational. The bouncy castles are open from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. every day during the summer weeks and are very popular with children and young people. There will be plenty of places to jump in Hafnarfjörður this year. 2025.
