Designing a trampoline park requires careful planning to ensure safety, functionality, profitability, and an exceptional guest experience. Whether you're launching a new facility or upgrading an existing one, here are the essential details to consider:

 

1. Safety First – Minimizing Risks & Ensuring Compliance

A. Equipment Standards & Certifications

Use ASTM/EN-certified trampolines with reinforced frames, high-tension springs, and durable jumping mats.

Ensure padding and edge protection cover all hard surfaces (steel frames, walls, poles).

Install safety nets around trampoline courts to prevent falls.

 

B. Zone Separation & Capacity Control

Divide the park into clearly marked zones (e.g., main court, foam pits, dodgeball, slam dunk) to avoid collisions.

Implement capacity limits based on square footage to prevent overcrowding.

Assign trained staff to supervise each section.

 

C. Flooring & Impact Absorption

Use non-slip, shock-absorbent flooring around trampolines (e.g., EVA foam or rubberized surfaces).

Ensure proper ground clearance beneath trampolines to prevent bottoming out.

 

2. Layout & Space Optimization

A. Efficient Flow & Accessibility

Design a logical guest flow from check-in to play zones, rest areas, and exits.

Ensure ADA compliance with wheelchair-accessible paths and inclusive attractions.

Include seating areas for parents and guardians.

 

B. Trampoline Court Configurations

Offer a mix of freestyle jumping, angled wall trampolines, and interconnected trampoline grids.

Incorporate specialty zones like:

Foam pits (for safe flips and tricks)

Dodgeball courts (competitive play)

Slam dunk lanes (basketball + trampoline combo)

Ninja warrior courses (obstacle challenges)

 

C. Ceiling Height & Structural Integrity

Minimum 14-16 ft ceiling height='auto' rea to allow safe jumping.

Reinforce the building structure to handle dynamic loads from multiple jumpers.

 

3. Engaging & Profitable Attractions

A. Themed Design & Aesthetics

Use vibrant colors, LED lighting, and branded graphics to enhance the atmosphere.

Consider glow-in-the-dark or blacklight zones for nighttime appeal.

 

B. Multi-Activity Zones

Add climbing walls, rope courses, or laser tag to diversify revenue streams.

Include toddler zones with low-height='auto' rea trampolines for younger kids.

 

C. Party & Event Spaces

Dedicated birthday party rooms with private jump sessions.

Host fitness classes (e.g., trampoline aerobics) and corporate events.

 

4. Business & Operational Factors

A. Revenue Streams

Entry fees, memberships, party bookings, concessions (snacks/drinks), and merch sales.

VR gaming upsells or arcade integrations for added income.

 

B. Staffing & Training

Hire certified trampoline park supervisors trained in CPR and emergency response.

Enforce strict safety rules (no double bouncing, no flips without supervision).

 

C. Maintenance & Longevity

Daily inspections of trampolines, padding, and netting.

Schedule professional equipment servicing every 6-12 months.

 

Conclusion: Building a Safe & Successful Trampoline Park

A well-designed trampoline park balances thrilling attractions, strict safety protocols, and smart business strategies. By focusing on guest experience, innovative layouts, and operational efficiency, you can create a highly profitable and repeat-friendly entertainment destination.
