Serving Hillsborough & the mid-Peninsula
Kids Party Rentals in Hillsborough
Hillsborough is almost entirely residential, with large lots, winding roads without sidewalks, and homes set well back behind long driveways and gates. Space is rarely the limiting factor here. The challenges are getting equipment from the street to the lawn, dealing with slopes and mature trees, and keeping power within reach. We deliver, set up and pick up bounce houses, soft play, ball pits and kids tables and chairs, and we plan the route across the property with you.

How Hillsborough's large lots shape a kids party
Lots in Hillsborough are large by Peninsula standards, but the land is rarely flat from end to end. Many properties have a terrace or formal lawn near the house and then drop away toward oaks, ivy or a ravine. The level lawn closest to the house is usually the right place for play equipment, since it keeps the party within sight of the kitchen and patio.
Pool decks, garden paths and landscaped beds are common, and each one limits where an inflatable can safely go. In the hills of West Hillsborough and along Skyfarm, some homes have their best flat ground on a motor court or wide driveway rather than on the grass. Walking the property with the setup in mind saves surprises later.
Matching rentals to a Hillsborough lawn
With a generous, level lawn, a combo bounce house with a slide gives school-age kids plenty to do, and there is often room to add a separate toddler area alongside it. On a smaller terrace or a lawn broken up by planting beds, a compact castle unit fits more comfortably and leaves space for tables and gift displays.
Soft play and a ball pit are a good addition when babies and toddlers are on the guest list, and they can sit on a patio or under a covered loggia. Kids-size tables and chairs make a tidy dining area for younger guests. For older kids and teens, regular seating near the action keeps them included without crowding the little ones.
Hillsborough access: gates, long driveways and power
Hillsborough roads are narrow and curving, with little room to stop a truck on the shoulder. When you book, tell us whether there is a gate code, how long the driveway is, and whether we can pull in rather than unloading from the street. If the party area is behind the house, describe the path, including steps, slopes and any lawn we will need to roll equipment across.
Inflatables need a dedicated outlet, and on a large lot the nearest one may be far from the lawn. Check where your exterior outlets are and how far they are from the setup spot, or plan for a generator. Inland Hillsborough is often sunnier and calmer than the coast, but shade from big trees helps on warm afternoons.

Good to know
Hillsborough party rental questions
Our Hillsborough lawn slopes. Can you still set up a bounce house?
Inflatables need level ground, so a gentle slope may work but a noticeable one will not. Look for the flattest section of lawn, a terrace or a wide driveway. If none of those fit, soft play, a ball pit and kids tables and chairs can go on a patio or indoors.
We have a gated property in Hillsborough. What do you need from us?
Share the gate code or have someone available to open the gate at the delivery time, and tell us whether a truck can pull into the driveway. A description or photos of the route from the gate to the party area helps us bring the right equipment for the distance and surface.
Are there parks in Hillsborough for a kids party?
Hillsborough has very few public parks, so most families host at home, where lots are usually large enough. If you want a park setting, check with the town about what is allowed. Otherwise, a level spot in your own yard is the simplest choice.
How much is delivery to Hillsborough?
Delivery to Hillsborough is $88. You are about 21.4 miles from our Oakland warehouse, and our rate is $80 flat within 20 miles then $4 a mile after that. The fee covers the round trip, setup when we arrive and collection afterwards. It is calculated from your exact address at checkout, so the figure you see is the figure you pay.
Is setup included, or do I put it up myself?
Setup is included. We deliver to your Hillsborough address, position and set up everything, and come back to collect it at the end of your window. You do not assemble anything, and there is no separate labour charge.
How far ahead should I book?
Online bookings need at least 7 days of notice, and you can book up to 12 months ahead. In practice Hillsborough weekends in spring and summer go early, so booking three to six weeks out gives you the best choice of dates and items. Nothing is held without a deposit, so the date is only yours once that is paid.
What deposit do you take, and what if I need to cancel?
A 50% deposit and a signed rental agreement reserve your items. The balance is due one week before the event, and bookings made inside that week are paid in full up front. If you need to move the date for weather, illness or anything else, your payment transfers to the new date subject to availability. If you cancel outright, the payment becomes in-house credit you can use for up to 18 months.
Can I choose an exact delivery time?
Standard delivery and collection are one-hour arrival windows, which lets us route the day's Hillsborough runs efficiently. If your venue or party schedule needs a precise time, you can add a guaranteed exact-time slot for $100 at checkout and we build the route around it.
Can I keep the rentals overnight?
Yes. Same-day collection is standard, and an overnight or next-morning pickup is $75. It is worth considering for an evening party in Hillsborough, since it takes the pressure off the end of the event and we collect the following day instead.
Which parts of Hillsborough do you cover?
All of Hillsborough, including North Hillsborough, West Hillsborough, Skyfarm, Crystal Springs Road and Black Mountain Road, plus the surrounding Peninsula. The delivery fee is the same across the city, so where you are inside Hillsborough does not change the price.
