I see the opposite pattern here (Pittsburgh, PA). The homes with trampolines that I have seen end up being a magnet for the neighborhood kids and become a social scene of sorts. When our children were younger, every day they'd end up playing on the trampoline with some different subset of the dozen or so other neighborhood children (who didn't own a trampoline). There was tons of laughter, some tears and conflict - and overall an amazing way for these children to spend time together as they grew up. Our kids have aged out of the trampoline now. But I was just driving through our neighborhood yesterday and I saw two other homes with trampolines, both filled with five or six kids, rolling around, playing, bouncing - exactly how the OP described and exactly what we saw in our own backyard.
