How a Former Café Owner Built a Thriving Business with Trampoline Park Equipment

Maria Gonzalez had run a cozy café in Madrid for seven years, but by 2023, she’d grown frustrated. “Families would come in, kids bouncing in their seats, and I’d think: ‘There’s nowhere nearby for them to play,’” she recalls. A rainy Saturday changed everything—watching a group of kids struggle to stay entertained in her small shop, she realized: Madrid needed a trampoline park.

Unfamiliar with indoor entertainment or equipment, Maria turned to Google, typing “buy trampoline park equipment” and “indoor trampoline equipment” into the search bar. Our website—featuring case studies of first-time entrepreneurs—caught her eye. “Your team had experience working with people like me,” she says. “That gave me confidence to reach out.”

We focused on her biggest concern: appealing to all ages. “I want grandparents to jump with grandkids, teens to challenge themselves,” she said. We recommended a trampoline balance beam as the first addition—low to the ground for toddlers, with adjustable difficulty for older kids. “We added a non-slip surface and safety rails,” our designer explains, “so parents feel confident letting their little ones try it.” Maria was skeptical at first (“Would kids really love a beam?”), but on opening day, she watched a 3-year-old and a 12-year-old take turns—laughing the whole time. “That’s when I knew we’d made the right choice,” she says.

No trampoline park is complete without a free trampoline area—and Maria’s park was no exception. We installed 15 modular trampolines, spaced to allow groups to play without overcrowding, and lined them with soft, colorful borders. “This is where magic happens,” Maria says. “I’ve seen strangers become friends here, parents jumping with their kids, even teens teaching little ones how to do flips.” The free area became the park’s most popular spot—accounting for 40% of daily bookings in the first month.

For Maria, the obstacle game area was a non-negotiable. “Teens need something to test their limits,” she says. We designed a custom course with trampoline-integrated hurdles, a low climbing wall, and a rope swing—all built to EU safety standards. “We wanted it to be challenging but not intimidating,” our project manager notes. The result? Teens flocked to the area, spending hours competing with friends. One 14-year-old told Maria, “This is the only place where I can be active and have fun at the same time.”

If the free area was the heart, the trampoline foam pit was the “instagrammable” soul of Maria’s park. We installed a 3-meter-wide pit with 1.2-meter-deep foam cubes, surrounded by a clear net enclosure (so parents could watch). “I wanted something that would make people stop and take photos,” Maria says. Her hunch was right—within a week of opening, the foam pit had 500 tags on Instagram, with users posting videos of themselves jumping in. “One post from a local influencer brought 100 new customers,” Maria laughs. “That pit paid for itself in a month.”

To round out the park, we added a trampoline dodgeball court—an idea Maria loved. “Dodgeball is universal,” she says. “Kids, teens, adults—everyone knows how to play.” We designed the court with soft boundaries and lightweight balls, ensuring safety without sacrificing fun. “Weekends are chaos here,” Maria says, “but it’s the good kind of chaos. Families come in for dodgeball and stay for hours.”

Maria’s biggest fear before working with us? “That the equipment would be generic—something you could buy anywhere,” she says. But as a trampoline park manufacturer, we specialize in custom solutions. We didn’t just sell her equipment—we partnered with her to design a park that reflected her vision (bright, playful, inclusive) and fit her space (maximizing every square meter of the warehouse). “Your team listened to me,” she says. “When I worried the balance beam was too high, you adjusted it. When I wanted the foam pit to be brighter, you changed the net color. That level of care made all the difference.”

Maria’s park, “JumpMadrid,” opened in June 2024. The response was overwhelming:

• First month: 2,200 visitors, €25,000 in revenue
• Weekends: 100% capacity, with wait times up to 45 minutes
• Birthday parties: Booked solid for 3 months, with a 20% premium for trampoline-themed packages
• ROI projection: 18 months (down from her initial 24-month estimate)

“The numbers are great,” Maria says, “but the best part is seeing families happy. A mom told me last week that her son, who’s shy, made three friends on the free trampoline area. That’s why I did this—for moments like that.”

Maria’s story isn’t just about a trampoline park—it’s about taking a risk and turning a dream into reality. And if she can do it? So can you.
