Choosing the right inflatable modules: the key to a successful water park!

Opening or developing a water park is first and foremost about creating a fun, safe, and memorable experience for visitors. And to achieve this, inflatable play modules is essential.

Slides, floating trampolines, climbing walls, walkways… these structures are central to the customer journey. When chosen carefully, they allow you to stand out, attract all audiences, and create a memorable experience for your visitors.

1. Safety and quality of materials: top priority

When discussing inflatable water structures, safety should never be an option.

Each module must be designed to withstand intensive use conditions: repeated jumping, friction, exposure to sunlight, chlorinated or salt water…

👉 To ensure optimal longevity and safe use , choose modules made of reinforced PVC , with an appropriate density (generally between 0.9 mm and 1.2 mm thick).

Standards to be met

Ensure that the modules comply with EN ISO 25649 , the European standard for recreational floating articles. This standard covers:

the strength of materials
buoyancy
security tests
usage instructions

💡 Pro tip: Also check that the anchoring system is robust, stable, and designed to withstand varying weather conditions. Good anchoring guarantees a secure and long-lasting playpen.

2. Perfect adaptability to your body of water

Every water park is unique. Whether you have a natural , an artificial pool , or an indoor space , the suitability of the inflatable module to your body of water is essential.

Things to consider:

Minimum depth: some modules require at least 1.50 m of water under their entire surface.
Available space: consider safety distances between structures, traffic lanes and rest areas.
Access conditions: floating walkways or pontoons must allow easy access to the structures, even for children.

💡 Pro tip: conduct a study of your body of water before ordering . This allows you to design a smooth, aesthetically pleasing, and above all, functional course.

3. A fun and varied experience for all ages

Your goal is simple: to ensure that every visitor leaves with a smile… and the desire to return. To achieve this, offer a variety of modules to create a rich, stimulating experience suitable for all audiences.

Classic items to include:

Water slides: simple, effective, essential.
Floating trampolines: a real stress reliever, loved by all ages
Inflatable climbing walls: to test your agility and create little challenges
Walkways, bridges, swings: for adventure and group play
“Chill” zones: platforms where you can relax, jump, or have a laugh between courses

By combining these different modules, you promote replayability , challenges between friends or family , and you create a complete experience .

Don't neglect maintenance

A water park operates seasonally and intensively. Regular, proper maintenance and an appropriate warranty are essential to avoid unpleasant surprises.

Cleaning, inspection of seams, verification of anchor points… perform a frequent check-up and maintain a direct relationship with your supplier for any questions or interventions.

A profitable and strategic investment

The return on investment for an inflatable park can be very quick if the right choices are made!

A well-designed course attracts more visitors.
Viral features (like XXL slides or climbing walls) encourage sharing on social media.
High attendance boosts ancillary sales (snacks, socks, drinks, etc.).
A successful experience = more followers, more loyal customers.

And as the success of parks like Wam Park , videos filmed by visitors are your best advertisement!

In summary: the 3 criteria for choosing the right inflatable modules

Safety and quality: Reinforced PVC, EN ISO 25649 standard, reliable anchoring
