2. Location selection
When planning a trampoline park, choosing the right location is crucial. Both economic and structural factors should be taken into account. Here are some aspects to consider:
Economic factors:
Research existing competitors and indoor leisure activities in the area. Is there a market gap that you can fill?
Good accessibility to public transportation is advantageous, with urban and rural areas having different requirements.
Proximity to a highway exit allows for a broader reach of potential visitors.
Obtain demographic data about the catchment area, either online or from local authorities.
If needed, our expert network can conduct a detailed analysis of potential target audiences, accessibility, competition, and visitor potential.
Structural factors:
The size of the property can vary depending on your requirements and available space. There are successful trampoline parks with different floor areas.
The proximity between parking and entrance is important. A short and convenient pathway is appreciated.
Ceiling height plays a crucial role in design. Higher ceilings provide more opportunities for spectacular jumps and activities. A minimum ceiling height of 5.5 meters is recommended by regulations, while high-performance trampolines may require 7.5 meters.
Take into account regional regulations for escape routes, accessibility, and fire protection. Consult local authorities for applicable requirements.
If desired, we can also support you from the beginning with the planning and implementation of a custom-built facility.
Choosing the right location for your trampoline park is an important step in ensuring the long-term success of your establishment. Thoughtful considerations of economic and structural factors will help you make the best decision.
3. Mix of attractions
Once you have successfully completed the initial steps, we take over the planning process. Based on an empty floor plan, we create a proposal that aligns with your specific preferences. We consider how to optimize your budget to ensure the best possible visitor capacity while maximizing variety and safety. Additionally, we help you stand out from your competitors.
In addition to the Main Area, which serves as the centerpiece of the trampoline park, we offer additional attractions that provide variety and unique features. Here are some examples:
Bounce Parkours
Jump Towers
High-performance Trampolines
Foam Pits
Airbags
Ninja Courses
TAG Challenges
Interactive Games
Skyrider
Sweeper
By selecting and combining these attractions appropriately, we provide you with a unique and exhilarating experience for your visitors.
4. Floor plan
To construct a trampoline park, we begin with detailed floor plan design. This involves creating a 2D plan of the entire building area, including other important sections such as the check-in area and changing rooms. However, our planning goes beyond the usual standards. We also coordinate all necessary measures and precautions, such as escape routes, fire protection, and sound insulation, in collaboration with other specialized firms. This ensures that your trampoline park complies with applicable regulations and can be operated safely.
Furthermore, our floor plan design includes a non-binding cost estimate for all the attractions and services we offer. This provides you with an overview of the financial aspects of your project and assists you in further planning and decision-making.
Our professional floor plan design, therefore, provides you with a solid foundation for administrative procedures, permits, and other necessary steps required for the successful construction and operation of your trampoline park.
5. Businessplan
Now, let's talk about numbers, facts, and the economic success of your venture. What are the costs involved in starting and establishing a trampoline park, and how can you recover your investment in a reasonable amount of time? A solid business plan is crucial in this regard and should ideally be created by an independent and experienced consulting firm. A well-thought-out business plan is based on comprehensive analysis, financial projections, and cash flow planning. It includes a detailed breakdown of all expected costs, as well as construction plans and a precise description of the location. With a convincing and professional business plan, you can address the question of financing successfully.
A well-founded business plan provides you with a clear overview of the financial resources required for the establishment and operation of your trampoline park. It also shows you how to cover these costs through revenue generation and profitability within a reasonable timeframe. This is crucial in order to persuade potential investors or financing partners to support your project.
Our experts are ready to assist you and support you in creating a solid business plan that takes into account your financial goals and the long-term profitability of your trampoline park.
6. Financing
What is your investment budget? With our planning-oriented approach, it is important that we lay all the cards on the table from the beginning. Our primary goal is the economic success of your project. In terms of financing, there are various options available to you. The most common method is traditional bank financing, but there are also other alternatives that may be suitable for your venture, such as:
Equity models
Crowdfunding
Government grants or programs
Investors
7. Permits and Licenses
The required permits for operating a trampoline park may vary depending on the region. To clarify, we recommend visiting the relevant authority. There, you will receive detailed information about the permit procedures and requirements specific to your location.
8. 3D-planning
Now, your ideas are taking concrete forms! Through our detailed 3D planning, you can finally get a realistic and vibrant impression of your trampoline park. Based on the previous floor plans and further discussions, we will create an impressive 3D representation that allows you to view your future trampoline park from various perspectives.

We coordinate with other involved trades and companies to ensure that your trampoline park is constructed on time and smoothly.
Our planning is based on applicable standards and is TÜV-compliant. Once the installation is completed, the facility can be inspected by an accredited testing institute. We are happy to coordinate this process for you, ensuring that all safety aspects are thoroughly examined and confirmed.
10. Opening
The long-awaited moment of opening your trampoline park is approaching. To ensure that this special day is a resounding success, we recommend investing in a professional website several months before the opening, where all important information for your customers is provided. Additionally, establish social media channels for your business in advance to share the construction progress with your future customers. This way, you can build a strong connection with your customers, promote your project, and ensure that you have already built a community to rely on by the time of the opening.
The opening party should be announced with great fanfare. Make sure to invite the local press and capitalize on the initial attention to spread your message far and wide.
