As a seasoned indoor trampoline park supplier, we’ve witnessed countless trampoline parks transform from blueprints into reality, and we’ve summarized the key differences between success and failure.
Whether you are a first-time entrepreneur or an investor looking to expand your business, this article will analyze how to create a safe and attractive trampoline park from the perspective of an indoor trampoline park supplier.
To build a successful and profitable trampoline park, accurate market positioning is crucial. We recommend that first-time entrepreneurs or investors seeking to expand their business first analyze the demographic data of their area.
● Families: Focus on families with children aged 3-15, who are typically the primary customer base on weekends and holidays.
● Teenagers and Young Adults: The 15-25 age group prefers more challenging projects and high-energy activities.
● Group Activities: Group bookings for birthday parties, company team building events, school activities, etc., can generate stable revenue.
● Fitness Enthusiasts: In recent years, trampoline fitness classes have attracted a large number of adult female customers.
As an indoor playground manufacturer, it’s recommended to conduct a competitive analysis within a 10-kilometer radius to understand the pricing, visitor traffic, and strengths and weaknesses of existing recreational facilities.
After completing the survey, consider whether your trampoline park has attractive or unique themed plans, up-to-date equipment, or new activity formats. The key idea is to pursue differentiation and pique the interest of potential visitors.
Modern trampoline parks offer much more than just ticket revenue. We recommend clients design diversified revenue structures:
Ticket Revenue (approximately 50-60%): Hourly rates, all-day passes, monthly/annual memberships
Party Packages (approximately 20-30%): Themed party rooms, catering packages, and exclusive services
Add-on Services: Retail merchandise, vending machines, coffee and snack area
Training Courses: Trampoline classes, gymnastics training, professional coaching
Venue Rental: Providing venues for sports teams, television programs, and commercial events
Based on experience from hundreds of projects, we have summarized the principles for efficient space layout:
● Main Trampoline Area (40-50% of area): Includes open trampolines, basketball trampolines, and dodgeball area.
● Special Activity Area (20-30%): Such as foam pits, climbing walls, ninja tracks, and zip lines.
● Rest and Observation Area (10-15%): Parent rest area should have good visibility, comfortable seating, and Wi-Fi.
● Service Area (10-15%): Reception area, party room, retail area, restrooms, and first aid station.
Ensure a rational flow design to avoid cross-contamination; emergency evacuation routes must meet regulations.
Themed design can significantly enhance a park’s memorability and appeal:
● Sports & Competition Theme: Utilizing bright colors and professional sports elements to attract teenagers and sports enthusiasts.
● Dreamy Cartoon Theme: Suitable for family-oriented parks, using soft colors and cute characters.
● Technological Futuristic Theme: Combining LED lighting and interactive sound effects to create an immersive experience.
● Nature & Adventure Theme: Themed around jungles, space, etc., with added storytelling elements.
Lighting design is crucial—main activity areas require ample and even lighting, while special areas can use colored lights to create atmosphere.
As a supplier, we recommend the following equipment combination:
● Basic Trampoline Unit: Choose professional-grade frame structures and trampolines, considering different spring configurations to suit different users.
● Safety Protection: High-quality foam mats, safety nets, and safety pads are essential investments.
● Specialty Equipment: Select according to the target customer group, such as soft play equipment in the children’s area and extreme challenge equipment in the youth area.
● Digital Interactive System: Point-based games, interactive projections, and other technological equipment can significantly increase repeat visit rates.
We recommend an investment ratio of “70% basic equipment + 20% specialty equipment + 10% technological equipment”.
When selecting a supplier, please pay attention to the following aspects:
Certifications and Standards: Whether the supplier’s products have passed international safety certifications such as ASTM and TÜV.
Project Cases: Examine completed projects, especially park equipment that has been in operation for more than 2 years.
After-sales Service: Installation guidance, operation training, maintenance support, and spare parts supply system.
Customization Capability: Can the supplier provide customized solutions based on your space and theme?
Total Lifetime Cost: Consider the durability and maintenance costs of the equipment, not just the initial investment.
It is recommended to communicate in depth with 2-3 high-quality suppliers to obtain detailed solutions and quotations for comparison.
Safety is the lifeline of a trampoline park. We recommend that our clients:
Strictly adhere to the ASTM F2970-31 trampoline park safety standard.
Implement a “triple safety protection system”: equipment safety + operating procedures + supervision system.
Maintain safe spacing between equipment and clearly defined buffer zones between different activity areas.
Establish daily, weekly, and monthly safety checklists and maintenance plans.
All equipment installation should be completed by a supplier-certified professional team and undergo rigorous acceptance testing.
Understand local building codes, fire safety requirements, and accessibility regulations.
Obtain the necessary operating licenses and entertainment venue permits.
Purchase adequate public liability insurance (generally recommended to be at least $2 million).
Work with a professional sports insurance broker to design an insurance plan that addresses the specific risks associated with your trampoline park.
From the supplier’s perspective, we emphasize the following key construction points:
Preliminary Preparation: Ensure the ground is level and has sufficient height (a minimum clearance of 7 meters is recommended).
Professional Installation: Installation should be carried out by a certified technical team, with quality checks conducted at each stage.
System Testing: Load testing and safety testing should be performed after all equipment is installed.
Safety Certification: Obtain a third-party safety inspection report as a prerequisite for opening.
It is recommended to allow 10-15% buffer time to address unforeseen issues during construction.
A successful park requires a professional operating system:
Staff Training: All employees must receive training in safety procedures, first aid skills, and customer service.
Reservation and Ticketing System: Choose a professional entertainment venue management system that supports online booking and dynamic pricing.
Security Monitoring: A comprehensive monitoring system, with no blind spots in critical areas such as the foam pit.
Marketing Plan: Launch pre-opening marketing campaigns three months in advance, combining social media and local partnerships.
Establish Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) covering all processes from daily operations to emergencies.
An ideal location should have the following characteristics: located in a densely populated or family-gathering area; convenient transportation and ample parking; close to commercial centers, cinemas, or sports facilities to create an entertainment cluster effect; and rental costs controlled within 15-25% of total operating costs.
Small parks are recommended to be 800-1,500 square meters, medium-sized parks 1,500-3,000 square meters, and large parks over 3,000 square meters. The minimum feasible area is about 800 square meters, but 1,500-2,500 square meters is the most cost-effective size.
Focus on the following key points: review the supplier’s international safety certifications; examine the operational status of their implemented projects; assess their after-sales service system; understand their customization capabilities; and request a full lifecycle cost analysis. It is recommended to compare at least three suppliers.
Five key elements: a safe and compliant spatial layout; a clear customer flow; a theme design that attracts the target customer group; a balanced combination of basic and special facilities; and comfortable rest and observation areas.
Visual and safety checks must be conducted before daily operation; detailed inspections and basic maintenance must be performed weekly; in-depth inspections and maintenance must be carried out monthly by professional technicians; and a comprehensive overhaul and equipment certification must be conducted at least once a year. Areas with high-intensity use require more frequent maintenance.
Building a successful indoor trampoline park is a complex undertaking requiring meticulous planning, professional execution, and continuous optimization. From market positioning to design and construction, from equipment selection to operation and management, every step is crucial to the project’s long-term success.
As an industry supplier, we have witnessed too many regrets stemming from hasty decisions, and we have also shared in the joy of countless clients’ successes. Leave the professional work to the professionals—partnering with experienced suppliers not only secures high-quality equipment but also valuable industry insights and full-cycle support.
