Trampoline gymnast Rosie MacLennan, a gold medalist in the 2012 London Olympics, ran a trampoline session with young fans at SkyZone Leaside on Aug. 27.

The King City athlete was in Leaside, at the indoor trampoline park on Esandar Drive off Laird Drive, to engage with fans and media as she unveiled the LeapFrog LeapBand, an activity tracker for kids. The wearable band, which encourages activity and healthy habits while kids nurture a virtual pet, is now available at major retailers.
