When planning a commercial trampoline park, in the end, there are only three things: space, safety, and making money. The site is at least 800 to 2,000 square metres, with a floor height of 5.2 metres. The global trampoline park market is expected to reach 6.8 billion US dollars by 2033, with an annual growth of 15.25%. If the layout and equipment are done right, you can have a high-energy drainage project and keep the family back.
If you are a B2B buyer who is looking at the trampoline park business, then you are entering a fast-growing market. Trampoline parks now account for about 40% of the home entertainment centre market. If the family wants an active and playable experience together, the trampoline can satisfy it. But planning a trampoline park is not a matter of buying a bunch of trampolines and opening the door. Space, layout, equipment, safety, and budget should all be thought about clearly. If you do it right, you can have a money-making diversion project. If you do it wrong, you will be injured, complain, and rework. This guide will take you through the key steps.
Who do you want to play with when you build this trampoline park? Trampoline parks can attract a wide range of age groups, including 5-year-old children, teenagers, and adults. But what kind of business you mainly do will directly affect the design. If it is mainly aimed at families with young children, it is best to have a separate children’s area with a smaller trampoline and softer equipment. If you are focussing on teenagers and young people, you can work harder on dodgeball, bubble pool, and ninja obstacle track. Most of the well-done parks are mixed, and different age groups have their own areas.
Space is the most important limitation. In the industry, it is recommended that a commercial trampoline park should be at least 800 to 2,000 square metres. The main trampoline area needs open ground, which cannot be blocked by pillars. Floor height is also important. Most activities require at least 5.2 metres of clear space. If the floor height is not enough, either limit some items or make the trampoline area smaller. Before designing, the site volume should be accurate.
The early investment of commercial trampoline parks is generally more than 350,000 to 1 million US dollars, which depends on the scale and equipment quality. A site of 20,000 to 30,000 square feet costs 450,000 to 900,000 US dollars for equipment alone. Only by thinking clearly in advance can the space and equipment be allocated correctly.
The main trampoline area is the core of the whole park. It is composed of connected trampoline surfaces and occupies the largest area. Free jumping is mainly here, which is also the main attraction for guests. When designing, safety and movement should be considered. There should be enough space to accommodate many people at the same time, and it should not be crowded.
The challenge area can increase the gameplay to attract older children and teenagers, including dodgeball courts, basketball dunk lanes, foam pools, and air cushion systems. These projects are organised and competitive, allowing guests to play longer. Interactive dodgeball with luminous targets is becoming more and more popular now.
Children need their own space, and a special area for children is designed. The trampoline is smaller, the equipment is softer, and the height is lower, which can not only ensure safety but also let them play. This area should be separated from the main trampoline area to prevent collisions.
Birthday parties are an important source of income for the trampoline park. There is a special party room, which will not affect other people’s dancing during the event. The rest area for parents is also very important. If you can clearly see the trampoline area, parents want to watch their children. If they sit comfortably, they will stay longer and spend more time.
The main trampoline area is the core investment. The commercial trampoline surface is made of high-tensile-strength materials, equipped with a durable steel frame and a safety protective net. The steel frame should be galvanised and rust-proof. The seams of the trampoline surface should be firm, and the edges should be reinforced.
Dodgeball and basketball dunk are among the most popular additional projects. They are organised and competitive, and can let guests play for a longer time. Interactive dodgeball with luminous targets has more digital gameplay, which is very attractive to children who like technology.
The air cushion area and foam pool can increase the sense of excitement, allowing jumpers to practice flipping and skill movements, and the landing is also soft. The air cushion system is easier to maintain than the traditional foam pool, and the impact absorption is also better. The skill area of the trampoline runway can give jumpers a place to practice.
The Ninja Warrior track goes well with the trampoline, which can attract older children and teenagers to meet the needs of physical challenges. Climbing walls and rope courses can also be added to increase diversity and cover a wider range of people.
Zoning is arranging different projects in the right position. The main jumping area is placed in the middle or behind; the party room is close to the entrance; the children’s area is separated from the high-energy area; and the parent rest area should be able to see the main play area.
The movement line is smooth, and it is comfortable for people to walk in it. There will be no traffic jams. The main passage should be wide enough, and there should be no problem for a group of people to pass. The entrance and exit are clearly marked, and the emergency exit should not be blocked at any time.
Employee supervision is very important. The layout should be so that employees can see all corners of the trampoline area without obstruction. There is enough passage space around the trampoline area to facilitate entry and exit and emergency passage. The trampoline park needs more employees than the soft-packed amusement area, and the personnel arrangement should be planned in advance.
To open a trampoline park, the initial investment is generally more than 350,000 to 1 million US dollars, depending on the scale, equipment quality, and site selection. The following is a general cost breakdown:
| Equipment Category | Estimated Cost Range |
| Main trampoline court (beds, frames, padding) | $150,000 – $400,000 |
| Dodgeball courts and basketball zones | $30,000 – $80,000 |
| Foam pits and airbag systems | $40,000 – $120,000 |
| Ninja obstacle courses | $30,000 – $100,000 |
| Interactive digital systems | $20,000 – $60,000 |
| Safety netting and padding systems | $30,000 – $80,000 |
| Installation and shipping | $50,000 – $150,000 |
The price of a commercial trampoline is between $5,000 and $50,000. The total cost of the whole construction is about 200,000 to 1.5 million US dollars. Cheap things are more expensive in the long run. If the materials are poor, the maintenance cost is high, and the service life is short.
Safety cannot be compromised. Equipment must meet ASTM F1918 and ASTM F2970 standards, which are about durability, fall protection, structural integrity, and anti-clamping protection. All exposed steel edges and springs should be wrapped with shock-absorbing soft bags, and the safety protection net should be tight and checked regularly.
Maintenance planning is equally important. The trampoline surface, springs, and soft bag will wear out after a long time. Find a supplier who can provide spare parts and maintenance guidance to cooperate with, and ask how often the cushion, springs, and soft bag should be replaced before buying. It is best to set aside a maintenance budget of 5% to 10% of the equipment cost every year.
One-stop suppliers start with your floor plan, make a 2D layout and 3D renderings first, so that you can see what the park looks like before production. At this stage, you can change anything at any time.
After the design is decided, production will begin. The equipment is made of commercial-grade materials in the factory, and there is quality inspection at each link. If you have your own factory, the quality and delivery time will be better controlled.
The equipment is packed and sent to the site. The supplier will give you installation manuals, step-by-step drawings, and videos. If the project is large, you can also send a professional team to install it. The one-stop supplier has coordinated all the links, so you don’t have to manage several suppliers by yourself.
The industry suggestion is more than 800 to 2,000 square metres, with a floor height of at least 5.2 metres. Smaller places can also be done, but some projects must be limited.
The total investment is more than 350,000 to 1 million US dollars, and the equipment cost of medium-sized parks is about 200,000 to 350,000 US dollars, in addition to the cost of installation, floor mats, transportation, and licensing.
The main trampoline area, dodge court, basketball lane, foam pool or air mattress, safety net, and soft package system, ninja obstacle track, and interactive system can be optional.
One-stop projects generally take three to six months from design to opening, four to eight weeks for production, two to six weeks for transportation, and one to four weeks for installation.
First, divide the area well. The main trampoline area is placed in the centre, the party room is adjacent to the entrance, and the children’s area is separated. The dynamic line and employee line of sight should also be planned, and professional 2D and 3D design should be used.
Planning a commercial trampoline park is a considerable investment, but the return may also be considerable. The market is growing at a rate of 15.25% per year, and the trampoline park accounts for 40% of the FEC market, and the demand is there.
First, confirm the target customer, site area, and budget, and then divide the park into several functional areas. The equipment should be commercial-grade and in line with ASTM standards. When designing the layout, the dynamic line and employees should also be considered. It is best to find a one-stop supplier that can include design, production, transportation, and installation.
