Safety vs. thrills: the secret to a successful trampoline park

1. Focus on user-friendliness, not risk

When we imagine a trampoline park , we often think of the most sensational attractions: jumping towers, competition nets, acrobatic courses… But beware, the more extreme the activity, the greater the risk of injury.

However, recent trends show that safety and user-friendliness are taking precedence over the pursuit of pure adrenaline. Parks that focus on simple, interactive activities and attractive design are attracting more families.

Why? Because parents, especially those of children between 6 and 12 years old, want a place where they feel reassured.

In reality, there is no direct link between the thrill level of the activities and the number of visitors to the park. On the contrary, simpler, more interactive concepts work better and offer just as much fun without compromising visitor safety.

2. Supervision: The key to a safe park

Having a well-designed park is one thing, but a well-monitored park is even better!

Many parks make the mistake of minimizing the presence of staff on the structures. However, a lack of supervision can turn a leisure activity into a potential danger.

The solution? A well-trained and sufficient team to ensure visitor safety. If you offer high-adrenaline activities, don't skimp on supervision. However, if you choose less risky attractions, you can reduce the number of staff while still ensuring effective monitoring.

The secret to success lies in a perfect balance : activities tailored to your audience and a constant presence of attentive professionals to guarantee a 100% fun and 0% stress experience.

3. Why less can mean more

Choosing simpler attractions doesn't mean sacrificing the park's appeal. Careful aesthetics , interactive play areas, and a welcoming environment attract far more visitors than complex and risky structures.

Families want a place where they feel safe, and you will not meet that expectation by multiplying risky activities.

Find the right balance. As a trampoline park owner, your goal is to offer a fun but safe experience. Ask yourself:

• What level of risk am I willing to accept?
• Do my facilities meet the expectations of parents and children?
• Do I have enough members on my team to ensure optimal monitoring?

By investing in well-designed facilities and a team ready to respond, you ensure the sustainability and positive reputation of your park.
