Navigating City Permits for Indoor Playgrounds & Trampoline Parks: How Funlandia’s Expertise Helps
Opening a trampoline park or indoor playground in the U.S. requires navigating various city permits and approvals. This process is heavily influenced by multiple safety and compliance standards, including the International Building Code (IBC 2024), ASTM F2970 (for trampoline parks), ASTM F1918 (for indoor playgrounds), and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) regulations. Ensuring compliance with these standards from the outset can significantly streamline the approval process.
How Permits Relate to Playground & Trampoline Park Design
City approvals typically involve reviews of building safety, fire compliance, zoning, and operational requirements. Many of these regulations are directly tied to the design, materials, and layout of the facility, as outlined in IBC 2024, ASTM standards, and ADA guidelines. Facilities that do not meet these requirements may face delays due to design modifications, resubmissions, or additional inspections.
