Your building has constraints? We love it!

Finding the perfect space is often a miracle. You often have to work around cumbersome load-bearing pillars, irregular ceiling heights, or impossible angles. This is precisely where our expertise in custom leisure park design comes into its own. We analyze your building plans to optimize every square meter of usable space.

An empty wall? We integrate an interactive climbing wall. An area with low ceiling? It’s the perfect spot to create a secure “toddler” space for ages 0-3. Our ultimate goal is to ensure smooth visitor flow and make supervision easier for your team.

Jungle, Firefighters, or Cyberpunk: Total Immersion

Children do not just come to jump or climb; they come to experience an adventure. Theming creates that essential “WOW” effect to make a lasting impression and flood social media.
Are you imagining a giant spaceship? A lush savannah? Or perhaps a 3D design for an urban and industrial trampoline park? We create complete immersive decors. Absolutely everything is customized: the color of the foam, the printing of your mascots on the tarpaulins, and even your logo printed on the jumping mats. With Play In Business, the only limit is your imagination.

CREATION STAGES
From a Blank Page to 3D: Our Creative Process

Designing a profitable complex cannot be improvised. Here is how our technical team validates your concept step by step, even before launching factory production.
01

Audit and Specifications

We discuss your target audience (families, teenagers, athletes?), your aesthetic preferences, and your budget. We obtain the plans from your architect to model the building to exact scale.

02

Zoning and 2D Layout Plan

This is the strategic stage. We distribute the activity zones (tubular structure, trampolines, interactive games, laser tag, etc.), the catering area, and the reception. The goal: to create a logical customer journey and comply with ERP standards (emergency exits, clearance zones).

03

Immersive 3D Modeling

No more abstract top-down plans. We bring your project to life through ultra-realistic 3D renderings. You can visualize the colors, volumes, and atmosphere as if you were there. This is also a massive asset for reassuring your banker or convincing investors!

04

Adjustments and Technical Validation

A detail to modify? Do you wish to change the theme or move a game? We refine the plans until your total validation. Once the design is definitively approved, the project goes into production in our partner workshops, in strict compliance with European safety standards (ISO 23659 and EN 1176).

Why Entrust Your Project to Our Design Office?

Because we don’t just draw beautiful structures: we design profit centers built to last.

100% Personalized

Your DNA Above All

Colors, mascots, logo insertion… Your modules directly reflect your identity. The goal? For your customers to recognize your touch immediately, as soon as they walk through the door.

Operator Vision

The Manager's Perspective

A beautiful park is good. A park designed to be profitable is better. We anticipate visitor flows from A to Z, simplify supervision for parents, and limit the daily wear and tear of the equipment.

Advanced Tools

Immediate Projection

Even before validating production, take a virtual walk through your future complex. These 3D renderings are also powerful assets for reassuring your financial partners.

Integrated Safety

Total Compliance with European Standards

Net heights, regulatory distances, clearance zones… European standards dictate our plans from the very first pencil stroke.

“Je veux attirer toute la famille dans mon parc, c’est possible” ?

Puis-je attirer toutes les tranches d’âges dans mon parc ? 

Voilà une question qui revient souvent auprès des porteurs de projets. Elle est tout à fait légitime et pour cause : ils ont tendance à penser qu’en attirant une tranche d’âge très large, ils pourront attirer plus de public, rentabiliser leur parc plus rapidement et ainsi décupler leur chiffres d’affaires. Cependant, la réalité est toute autre. C’est même le piège à éviter par excellence. 

Mélanger enfant et ado : une bonne idée ? 

La première chose à faire est de se mettre dans la tête d’un adolescent de 15 ans. A-t-il vraiment envie de venir jouer dans un espace où jouent des enfants de 6 ans ? La réponse est claire : non. Il ne voudrait pas être vu en compagnie de plus petits. C’est une question d’individualité. Il a envie d’être considéré comme le jeune adulte qu’il est et non plus comme un enfant. 

Du point de vue des plus petits, il faut prendre en compte les parents et les enfants. D’un point de vue parental premièrement. Une maman qui voit son enfant de 6 ans évoluer dans un espace avec des plus grands de 15 ans ne se sentira pas rassurée. Quant à l’enfant, il n’a pas la même énergie ni la même motricité d’un ado. L’espace n’est alors pas 100% sécurisé pour lui. 

Ce sont deux clientèles bien distinctes avec des codes différents, des besoins et des comportements différents. Il n’est donc pas envisageable de fusionner ces deux tranches d’âges dans un même espace. 

Mono activité ou parc familial : comment choisir ? 

La réponse est plutôt simple. En réalité, c’est la taille de votre bâtiment qui vous dira si vous pouvez envisager d’accueillir plusieurs tranches d’âge, ou si vous devez vous focaliser sur une seule. Pour un bâtiment de 800 à 1000m², notre conseil est simple : choisissez une cible, et tenez-vous-y. Si vous souhaitez accueillir des plus petits, entre 1 et 12 ans, vous pourrez alors opter pour l’aire de jeux. Si vous ciblez les plus grands, ados, voire jeunes adultes, vous pourrez alors opter pour le trampoline parc. Mais pas les deux en même temps. 

Pourquoi ? Cela réduirait trop fortement votre capacité d’accueil pour chaque tranche d’âge et impacterait directement votre chiffre d’affaires. Aussi, vous ne pourriez pas délimiter chaque espace comme il se doit. 

Nous avons accompagné des clients qui ont voulu faire les deux. Résultat : ils n’attirent ni les ados, ni vraiment les familles. On passait par l’aire de jeux pour accéder au trampolines, les adolescents ne se sentaient pas à leur place et ne revenaient pas. Le projet vivotait.

Le trampoline parc, la solution pour attirer les plus grands

Si aujourd’hui votre parc attire majoritairement les jeunes enfants et que vous souhaitez attirer une clientèle plus mûre, nous vous conseillons vivement d’opter pour le trampoline parc. En effet, cette activité s’oriente tout naturellement vers les 8-16 ans et peut tout à fait se coupler avec une aire de jeux existante. À condition d’avoir l’espace suffisant et de pouvoir bien séparer les deux activités. Les trampolines parcs de nos jours ne sont plus les mêmes qu’à l’époque. Ils permettent de jouer à plusieurs, proposent des jeux diversifiés et plaisent autant aux grands enfants qu’aux ados et même aux adultes. 

L’idéal si votre bâtiment permet d’abriter les deux activités (aire de jeux et trampoline) est d’avoir une entrée commune puis de compartimenter ensuite les deux espaces. Ainsi, chaque tranche d’âge peut profiter librement de son expérience sans empiéter sur le terrain de l’autre. 

Le complexe de loisirs : la solution pour attirer toute la famille

Vous rêvez d’un espace qui puisse réunir les familles ?

Des enfants jusqu’aux parents ? Pour cela une seule solution : le complexe de loisirs. Bowling, laser game, trampoline, aire de jeux, action game… Néanmoins, ce type de projet est d’une toute autre envergure. 

Cela implique une surface bien plus importante à partir de 3.000 jusqu’à 6.000 m² voire 10.000 m² pour les plus grands. Les budgets sont également revus en conséquence : l’investissement est beaucoup plus conséquent et la gestion du personnel plus complexe. C’est un autre métier, une autre échelle, un autre investissement.

Même dans ce cas, la règle de la compartimentation des espaces reste la même. L’aire de jeux ne doit être accessible que par les enfants et leurs parents et sous contrôle d’accès pour des questions de sécurité. Il ne faudrait pas que les enfants puissent sortir comme bon leur semble. Le trampoline parc peut être ouvert, mais toujours sous surveillance. Le bowling peut fonctionner en quasi-autonomie. La clé est de bien compartimenter chaque espace afin de faciliter la gestion des flux et du complexe de loisir. 

Mono-activité ou multi-activités : quelle tendance pour demain ?

Aux États-Unis, on observe depuis quelques années un retour à des parcs à taille humaine qu’on appelle downsizing. Les grands complexes de 10.000 à 15.000 m² ont montré leurs limites : investissements (CAPEX) très élevés, coûts d’exploitation et de maintenance élevés, personnel nombreux, concurrence féroce. Si les parcs font le plein le week-end, ils peinent à rentabiliser leur surface en semaine hors vacances scolaires. On revient à des formats plus maîtrisables et modulaires, entre 2.000 et 5.000 m², avec un meilleur retour sur investissement au mètre carré. 

Si le marché français (et européen) reste dynamique, les clients sont plus exigeants. La multiactivité reste attractive, mais une chose est certaine : la taille ne fait pas tout. Une aire de jeux de 1.000 m² bien pensée, bien thématisée, bien gérée n’a rien à envier à un complexe de 3.000 m² sans âme. C’est la qualité qui fidélise, pas la superficie.

Il y aura toujours des enfants, et il y aura toujours des ados. Le marché se renouvelle en permanence. En revanche, la croissance du marché ne garantit pas à elle seule la réussite d’un parc. Choisissez bien votre cible, construisez quelque chose de moderne et d’innovant, et faites la différence par la qualité plutôt que par la quantité.

Vous avez un projet ? Nous serions ravis d’en discuter avec vous.

Play In Business: Our success story, a leisure park creator like no other

Dive into our world with an exclusive interview with Bertrand Coulomb, the founder of Play In Business.

For over 30 years, Bertrand Coulomb has been working in the leisure industry. Since his beginnings at Big Bang Schtroumpf park (now Walygator Grand Est), he has remained in the amusement park sector, becoming a major player in the construction of leisure complexes through his company Play In Business. With one guiding principle: the constant pursuit of excellence.

Discover this interview here:

  • Can you tell us the story of Play In Business?

Bertrand Coulomb: Play In Business was founded in 2013 in Luxembourg, a country located in the heart of Western Europe, with excellent connections between capital cities. This company is the culmination of many years as a partner to European manufacturers. After collaborating with the largest manufacturers, installing hundreds of equipment pieces, regularly discussing with operators, and participating in the development of safety standards, I wanted to propose new ideas, greater theme and provide more efficient service to our clients.

We established partnerships with suppliers selected for the quality of their products, their service, their innovation, and their originality. We thus became manufacturers of our own play equipment.

  • What were the key stages in the growth and success over the years?

Bertrand Coulomb: One of the crucial stages was to stop being resellers and become manufacturers of play areas, enabling us to respond more effectively to our clients. We finally design the play equipment we want, with high-quality materials and advanced theming.

Then the evolution toward multi-activity allowed Play In Business to offer equipment beyond play areas, such as the trampoline parks that we also manufacture.

Aminata Ndao played a crucial role in this development. Coming from the French subsidiary Ludo et Cie, she was an enormous boost for Play In Business thanks to her responsiveness and extraordinary work capacity. She became the partner I had been waiting for.

  • What elements have contributed to making Play In Business a leader in the construction of indoor play areas and trampoline parks?

Bertrand Coulomb: I think our clients first appreciate the relationship we create with them. We share our experiences, listen to their expectations, spend time finding the perfectly adapted solution for the project, visit parks we have built together, and draw detailed 3D designs of the project to ensure perfect understanding.

Then, the quality-price ratio of our trampoline parks and our indoor play areas completes the convincing of our clients.

Of course, having operated a park for several years and participated in the development of safety standards also reinforces our credibility, and we maintain contact with our clients after their opening.

  • Could you share an example of an iconic project that has marked the history of Play In Business?

Bertrand Coulomb: Cosmic Jump is a striking example. It was our first large trampoline park (1,200 m2 of play equipment), installed in early 2018, with significant technical constraints and many activities such as dodge ball, half pipe, foam pit, and ninja course. The park was a success, and we then installed one of the largest modular play structures in France in the adjacent building for the same client!

  • Can you tell us about the innovations or new trends that Play In Business has introduced this year in its indoor play areas and trampoline parks?

Bertrand Coulomb: The arrival of the ISO EN23659 standard this year shook up the trampoline park industry somewhat, but it accelerated the professionalization of the sector. We place great importance on compliance with European standards, and we support operators to ensure optimal safety for jumper visitors and their own peace of mind.

Interactive games have also taken a prominent place at the expense of the free jump zone. Interactivity has truly become a must-have in trampoline parks, and Play In Business integrates several games into each project, such as Cardio Wall, Valo Jump, Freedom Gaming… Modular play structures are not left behind with interactive screens or the Talking Bag!

  • What are the upcoming projects for Play In Business for next year?

Bertrand Coulomb: We have developed a new range of pretend play equipment. With these games making a strong comeback in playgrounds, we couldn’t pass up the opportunity. In addition to our initial range of small play structures covering 2–3 m², we now offer role-play areas spanning 20–30 m² with plenty of interactive features. The first park to feature this range was Chibiotopia near Strasbourg, which has proved a huge success, and the brand is now expanding under licence.

We’ll be attending IAAPA in London in September 2026 – the attractions industry’s largest trade fair – to showcase this new range. This time, it’ll be the visitors who get to play like children!

As for our upcoming installations for 2027, our schedule is already packed. Stay tuned—we will discuss them soon.

  • In summary, how would you describe the results of the current year for Play In Business in terms of success, achievements, and future prospects?

Bertrand Coulomb: Despite challenges related to client financing, I consider that we have had an excellent year. Our clients are satisfied, the image of Play In Business is very strong, and our quality-price ratio remains excellent. We thank our clients for their trust and collaboration, and we remain available for future projects and park upgrades.

Frequently Asked Questions About Designing Your Park

To carry out an ultra-precise bespoke design, we work from the architectural plans of your building. Ideally, you should provide us with computer files in DWG format. A few photos of the interior and exterior of the premises are also very useful. They help our designers to properly visualize the actual volumes, light sources, and space configuration before launching the modeling software.

Customization is total. During the design phase, we define a true visual identity together. You choose the colors of the tubular structures, foams, and nets. We design the decors according to the theme of your choice (Jungle, Pirate, Space, Urban…) and we can print your own mascots or your logo directly onto the tarpaulins, panels, and jumping mats.

This is a very common situation. When developing the 2D layout plan, we use these architectural constraints to our advantage. The pillars are either directly integrated into the play structure (the course is built around them) or transformed into 100% safe decorative elements using bespoke foam padding.

Design is a collaborative process. The first 3D model serves precisely as a working basis for discussion with you. Do you want to swap the location of the “Toddler” zone, add an interactive game, or change the color of a slide? Our designers adjust the zoning and 3D renderings step by step, until your final validation of the project.

We consider the overall layout of your complex. A profitable park requires excellent management of visitor flows. On our layout plans, we strategically position the play structures, but also the catering area, private rooms for birthdays, and the reception area. The goal is to fluidify circulation and facilitate the daily work of your team.

As soon as we have received the computer plans of your premises and validated your requirements together (theme, budget, targets), our design office begins the creation. It generally takes between 1 and 3 weeks to design the 2D layout plan and generate the first photorealistic 3D views of your future park.

This is an excellent operational strategy that we regularly integrate. During the design phase, we can certainly imagine a zone left free for the future, or design structures that are easily modular. Thus, after a few years of operation, you can integrate new interactive activities or expand the tubular structure without having to rethink the entire circulation of your building.
