Before starting a trampoline park there are a litany of things to consider. We’ve listed 6 incredibly crucial steps to take when starting a trampoline park.

Step1: Decide the structure that you will use to run the Trampoline Park

You will need to evaluate and choose the best model to operate your Trampoline Park. Our recommendation is that you seek the opinion of a number of operators before deciding on the best model for you. In the market there are a variety of option, these include; ownership, and franchising. All the models are bound by legal and other operational obligations that you will need to take into account.

When setting up a trampoline park you need to take into account the following factors; the space requirements, ceiling heights in case you plan to set up an indoor trampoline park, the planning permission from your local authority, the cost of setting up the park, and the availability of spare parts to service your park equipment’s.

Step 2: Evaluate the Space requirements

As the operator, you will need to evaluate the space requirements for your Trampoline Park. The average recommended space to operate a trampoline park is about 20,000 – 30,000 square feet. This space allows your park to offer the desired experience to your customers and at the same time generate viable financial returns that will keep you in business.

There are also other non-salient factors that you need to take into account when setting up the trampoline park. It is estimated that up to 65% of the areas you use will be taken up by the trampolines while the rest will be taken up by incidental activities such as; viewing areas, cafeteria, and receptions.

Step 3: Evaluate the ceiling height requirements

Another factor that you should seriously consider when setting up a Trampoline park is the ceiling requirements. The clearing area serves as a good evaluation metric for this. The clearing area is the space left for jumping between the lowest obstruction and the height raise of the trampoline.

In evaluating the clearing area, evaluate the space to be taken up by lighting and ventilation equipment. By various estimates, the average recommended height for trampoline parks is a minimum clearing height from the floor to the lowest obstruction of 5.5 Meters.

Step 4: Find Out about City Permit requirements

When setting up a trampoline park you should also factor in your local city permit requirements. You might need to apply for permits to reclassify the area of operation from an industrial unit into leisure usage area for family and kids.

Step 5: Evaluate the cost of setting up the park

The cost of setting up the park is very key. In most instances, the cost arrived at by your provider is based on a range of aspects including the area to be occupied by the park. The areas may be defined as pitted areas, raised walkway areas, and basketball runways.

You should take the advantage to walk through all the designs and cost implications with your supplier. A sample evaluation of the installation costs as provided by Sky Zone Indoor Trampoline Park (see link below) offers a wide variety of installation costs starting from a low of $1,232,131 to a high of $2,968,000.

Step 6: Evaluate the spare parts needs

The availability of spare parts should be a key factor when setting up the Trampoline Park. Before signing up on any trampoline provider plans, you should first take a look into the warranty that they offer and evaluate how best you can benefit from this.

You should also make sure that spare parts are easily accessible so that you are not left with equipment that will need a total overhaul when it comes service.
