Designing the Perfect Trampoline Park: What to Consider When You Have 4,000 Square Feet

Image
Introduction: Starting a new trampoline park or indoor play area is always an exciting venture. One of the first and most important questions we hear from potential clients is: “I have a 4,000 sq. ft. space—what are my options?” Recently, we received a thoughtful inquiry from Vanessa Alexis, owner of Little Feetz Indoor Play , who’s preparing to open a new location and wants to ensure her space is used to its full potential. Height Matters: Why Vertical Space Is Just as Important Vanessa highlighted an essential design consideration— height . Many people focus on the floor area but underestimate how ceiling height can impact the types of play structures that can be installed. For trampoline parks and indoor playgrounds, we recommend a minimum ceiling height of 16 to 24 feet , depending on the equipment: Basic trampolines and foam pits: 14–16 feet Multi-level play zones or climbing towers: 18–22 feet High-performance trampolines and dodgeball courts: 20–24 feet Adequat...

How the 104% U.S. Tariff Affects Playground Imports – and What We’re Doing About It Plus: What Over 40,000 Views on Reddit Reveal About the Future of Global Supply Chains

Image
  In early April, the U.S. government announced a dramatic increase in tariffs on certain imports from China — raising rates on our category of indoor playground equipment from 34% to an eye-watering 104%. As a Chinese factory that has been exporting to over 30 countries for 15+ years, including the U.S., we’ve experienced trade policy shifts before. But this one is different — not just in scope, but in the suddenness and impact on small businesses, both here and abroad. ❗ What This Means for the U.S. Market Many U.S. customers have told us “There’s no way we can make a profit now.” Some are pausing or canceling orders entirely. Others are exploring alternate supply routes or switching to lower-quality, unregulated suppliers. The hardest part? Our products are not produced domestically in the U.S. at all — there is no local substitute that meets safety certifications like ASTM or EN. 🔍 We Asked Reddit, and Over 40,000 People Responded We recently posted on Reddit’...

Navigating the 34% Tariff Hike: Challenges and Strategies for Dream Garden and Chinese Indoor Playground Suppliers

Image
  1. Overview of the April 2025 U.S. Tariff Increase and Its Impact In April 2025, the United States imposed a 34% tariff on a wide range of Chinese goods, including indoor playground equipment. For Chinese manufacturers like Dream Garden , this significant policy change poses new challenges in pricing, competitiveness, and international customer relationships. It’s important to note that the rising costs are not always immediately visible to customers. This is because many of the raw materials and components used in our playground systems are sourced globally—not exclusively from China. However, since the final assembly is done in China, the products are still classified as “Made in China” and are fully subject to the 34% tariff under current trade rules. 2. Dream Garden’s Key Strengths in the Global Market Despite these headwinds, Dream Garden remains a trusted global supplier of indoor playground equipment thanks to several core strengths: Custom-Themed Design : We speci...

No exposed concrete or sharp edges. ✅ 2. Equipment Padding and Coverage All steel or hard components must be covered with soft padding. Foam thickness should meet international standards (minimum 4–5cm). Check for peeling PVC covers or torn netting. ✅ 3. Age-Appropriate Zoning Clearly separate toddler zones (1–3), kids’ areas (4–8), and older child sections (9–12). Install visible signage with age labels. Use soft barriers or netting to divide play areas. ✅ 4. Regular Maintenance & Inspection Daily inspection ch...
