How to Start a Trampoline Park

Update time:2025.10.18
Introduction

Around the world, trampoline parks have become more than just fun attractions — they are now stable, high-return businesses blending fitness, recreation, and social entertainment.

For first-time investors, the idea of starting a trampoline park may feel overwhelming. From layout planning to safety standards and budgeting, each step requires careful decision-making.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to start a trampoline park — from early research to final operation — based on real manufacturing and project experience.


Chapter 1: Research & Market Planning

Before any design begins, you must understand your audience and competition.

1. Define Your Target Market

  • Family entertainment: Focused on children and birthday parties.

  • Fitness-oriented: Targeting adults and teens through active play.

  • Mixed-use: Combining sports, social, and recreation zones for all ages.

Knowing your demographic determines everything — from ceiling height and layout to ticket pricing and marketing tone.

2. Analyze Local Competition

Visit existing parks. Check how busy they are, what attractions are missing, and how pricing compares.
This helps you position your park to stand out, whether through design, unique attractions, or service experience.


Chapter 2: Building a Business Plan

Every successful trampoline park begins with a clear business model.
Your plan should include the following key sections:

1. Investment & Startup Costs

The total investment depends on size, location, and equipment mix.
For reference, the equipment cost alone (excluding installation and shipping) averages around USD 120 per square meter.

  • 100–300 m² small park: USD 12,000 – 36,000

  • 500–800 m² mid-size park: USD 60,000 – 96,000

  • 1,000 m² flagship park: USD 120,000 and above

Additional expenses such as installation, shipping, interior decoration, flooring, permits, and staff training should be budgeted separately to complete your total investment plan.

2. Revenue Streams

Diversify your income beyond ticket sales:

  • Birthday parties & private events

  • Membership packages

  • Snack bar or café

  • Merchandise & socks sales

  • Fitness or trampoline fitness classes

3. Profitability Forecast

Most parks reach break-even within 12 to 18 months, depending on attendance and management efficiency.
Aim for 50–60 % gross profit margins after the first six months of operation.


Chapter 3: Designing Your Trampoline Park

A great trampoline park layout should keep guests moving continuously while ensuring safety and flow.

Here are the essential functional zones most parks include:

A free jump zone where guests can move freely across interconnected trampolines.

A high-performance trampoline area designed with stronger bounce mats for skilled users.

Slam dunk lanes combining basketball hoops with trampolines for high-flying fun.

A dodgeball court where teams compete on trampolines for fast-paced excitement.

A foam pit or airbag zone offering safe landings for flips and tricks.

A ninja course & climbing wall adding challenge and competition.

A toddler play area separated for safety, with smaller trampolines and padded toys.

Each zone targets a different age group and activity level, creating balance and excitement throughout the park.


Chapter 4: Manufacturing & Quality Control

Behind every successful park lies reliable, safe, and well-built equipment.
At Zhenghan, every trampoline structure is engineered and manufactured according to international standards.

Core Materials

  • Galvanized steel frame for long-term stability

  • High-tensile springs for consistent bounce

  • UV- and water-resistant PP mats for endurance

  • Multi-layer safety pads with thick EPP foam and anti-wear PVC cover


Certification

All Zhenghan trampoline park equipment is produced in full compliance with:

  • ASTM F1918-21 / ASTM F1487-21 – Public play equipment design and safety performance

  • ASTM F2970-22 – Trampoline court design, manufacture, and operation

  • EN 1176-1/3/10:2017 – European playground safety requirements

  • EN ISO 23659:2022 – General safety management for indoor play and amusement facilities


👉 Certificates and material test reports are available with every order to verify conformity and quality assurance.


Chapter 5: Installation & Operation

Once equipment production is complete, the installation phase begins.
Zhenghan provides complete installation manuals, CAD drawings, and remote video support to guide local contractors.

After installation, daily operations focus on:

  • Routine equipment inspections

  • Staff training for supervision and safety

  • Regular cleaning and maintenance

  • Promotional events and social media engagement



Chapter 6: Long-Term Success Tips

To maintain steady traffic and strong returns:

  • Update your attractions every 3–5 years with new modules.

  • Introduce loyalty programs or weekday promotions.

  • Partner with local schools and community groups for group bookings.

  • Keep your park clean, bright, and staff-friendly — parents notice the details.
