6 key steps to build indoor playground systems
1. Market research, deep insight into customer needs
Before starting to design indoor playground systems, you must first understand the target market. This includes the age group, number of target customers and local consumption levels. For example, if you know that the target customers are mainly children aged 3-6, you can design activity areas suitable for this age group. The age span of the children’s group is large, and there are significant differences in the psychological and physical needs of children of different ages. Therefore, in planning and design, it is necessary to make detailed divisions for children of different ages and provide appropriate amusement equipment. For example, set up soft facilities and building block toys for young children to ensure that they can play safely with their parents; arrange slides, climbing frames and trampolines for middle-aged children to meet their desire for independent exploration and adventure; provide rock climbing, large slides and physical development training equipment for senior children to challenge their physical fitness and courage.
It is crucial to understand and meet the needs of the core audience. From the perspective of children, design a creative and interesting park, and choose amusement equipment that can stimulate children’s curiosity and desire to explore. Through rich colors, vivid cartoon images and interactive experiences, let children gain happiness and knowledge while playing, thereby attracting more families to consume.
At the same time, understanding the local consumption level can help you position the park’s pricing strategy to ensure that it meets the needs of the market.
2. Scientifically plan the layout of equipment
First of all, a comprehensive understanding of the venue of the indoor playground systems is the basis. The layout of the amusement equipment needs to be carefully planned to ensure that each equipment can give full play to its unique advantages. You need to clarify the area, shape and boundaries of the venue in order to reasonably plan the layout of the amusement equipment.
The size of the venue directly affects the selection, scale and number of amusement equipment. Spacious venues can accommodate more diverse and larger equipment, while venues with limited space need to select equipment to ensure that every inch of space is fully utilized. The equipment should be kept at an appropriate distance to provide customer with sufficient experience space and avoid the risk of collision and abrasion. At the same time, combine the characteristics of the venue and the functions of the equipment to create a coherent amusement route to enhance the children’s play experience. Also pay attention to obstacles in the venue, such as sewers, lamp posts, etc., to ensure that the placement of equipment will not be disturbed.
If you choose to work with a professional amusement equipment supplier, they usually provide equipment and grade options, so that you can plan your park layout based on this information. Ensuring that there is enough space, but not wasted, is the key to area planning.
3. Floor height design
The floor height of indoor playground system is also a factor to consider. Generally speaking, the higher the floor space, the better, so that the park can be more interesting, such as setting up climbing projects and naughty castles. It is recommended that the net height should not be less than 2.7 meters, so as to ensure that the selection and layout of amusement facilities are more flexible.
4. Floor selection
For safety reasons, children’s parks usually need to choose the right floor. Generally speaking, floors 1 to 3 are ideal choices, while floors below ground and 4 are usually not allowed to operate children’s parks. When choosing a floor, you should also consider the accessibility and convenience of the park to facilitate parents and children to enter and exit.
5. Site selection strategy
Finally, site selection is also a key step in creating an indoor playground system. Usually, indoor playground systems are located in places with large passenger flow, such as shopping malls, supermarkets, and communities, so as to attract more customers. When choosing a site, you should also consider traffic convenience and safety to ensure the safety of customers.
6. Optimize the entrance and exit settings
The entrance and exit of the indoor playground systems should be designed to be spacious and bright, convenient for parents and children to enter and exit. At the same time, choose a location with convenient transportation to attract more customers. Avoid too many ground obstacles around the entrance and exit to ensure that baby strollers and wheelchairs can pass smoothly. In addition, set up clear signs to guide customers to quickly find the entrance to the park.
Through the above steps, you can better plan and design your indoor playground systems to ensure that it can attract customer’s attention and meet their needs.
