Children’s spending accounts for more than 33% of total household consumption expenditure. This creates huge business opportunities in the children’s playground industry.

II. Industry Background of Trampoline Parks

Trampoline originated in European and American countries and has since evolved into a competitive sport. Following the successful hosting of the 2008 Beijing Olympics, trampolining began to attract widespread public attention in China, and in just a few years, it has rapidly blossomed across the country. The industry is experiencing vigorous growth, and trampoline sports have entered a golden era of rapid development—truly a promising entertainment venture. However, regardless of everything else, any investor planning to open a trampoline park must pay close attention to certain key considerations: First and foremost, you need a suitable venue! You need sufficient funding! And you need to be fully prepared!

III. Analysis of the Investment Cost Budget for Opening a Trampoline Park

1. Venue Rental

Rental costs also account for a significant portion of the overall operation of a trampoline park. Taking foot traffic into consideration, it’s best to choose venues with low rental and property costs whenever possible. In fact, venue rental fees are determined based on the actual conditions of the city in question; second- and third-tier cities offer lower prices compared to first-tier cities.

II. Trampoline Park Costs

Now that the trampoline park’s location has been finalized, it’s time to focus on the interior decoration. Decorating a trampoline park is just like decorating your own home—there are both high-end, sophisticated styles and more modest, everyday designs. Therefore, the cost of decorating a trampoline park should be determined based on your budget and the specific style you want for your venue. It’s important to ensure that the child’s visual and play experiences are fully satisfied. You can also create a unique style for your own trampoline park.

3. Trampoline Equipment

A trampoline park typically includes a steel frame structure, a trampoline surface, springs, soft padding, and walkway fencing. For a pure trampoline park, the price is roughly between 400 and 600 yuan per square meter. If you add features such as a naughty castle, ninja obstacle courses, children’s climbing walls, basketball hoops, or thrilling slides to enhance the park’s playability, the cost will depend on the specific design plan. The 300-square-meter space can be divided into two areas: a 200-square-meter area for installing fun and engaging play equipment, and the remaining 100 square meters designated as passageways, a rest area for parents, or a sales area for children’s toys—thus generating additional revenue for the amusement park.

4. Operating Costs

The cost of staff in a trampoline park. Generally, the number of staff at a trampoline park is determined based on its area and foot traffic. The store’s total expenses include regular utility costs, as well as paid expenses for promotion and marketing, among other things.
