In the syntax of this clause, "bouncy" is not an adjective but part of the direct-object noun phrase [bouncy castle parties]. So you wouldn't have a comma after "fun" here any more than you would after "safe, fun party" or "safe, fun bouncy castle". (Though there is a case for hyphenating "bouncy castle" in our example to avoid any ambiguity.) I don’t think so.
