The Indoor Trampoline Park Purchasing Guide

Most trampoline park owners will need the following equipment and materials to get started:

You should budget approximately $100,000 to $750,000 for initial purchasing costs.

The first decision you will need to make is whether you want to purchase a pre-designed trampoline park, or buy trampoline by the square foot and construct and design it yourself. Keep in mind that the larger your park, the larger your space will need to be. The average size of the total space for trampoline parks (including concessions, lobby, etc.) is about 30,000 square feet.

This budget includes plans for a small, simple concession stand. As your business grows, consider purchasing additional features for your concession stand- for example, a popcorn or cotton candy machine.

Picking the right trampoline flooring is arguably the most important buying decision you’ll make when starting a trampoline park. We outline the key considerations you’ll need to keep in mind when making this purchase and provide some popular options.

Trampoline Flooring

Trampoline flooring can be purchased by the square foot, but you can also purchase a pre-designed trampoline park layout. Both of these options are fairly expensive, though a smaller park would likely do better purchasing trampoline flooring by the foot. Popular franchise Sky Zone offers parks around 12,000 square feet, but your startup will likely be smaller than this.

• Classic commercial trampoline

Both models of trampoline parks must be purchased online. Before you make any purchases, it is important to carefully plan out your entire park (not just the trampolines) and make the best possible use of your space.
