Trampoline Park Operator Risk Assessment — Generated Instantly for £29
Describe your park — activity zones, jumper numbers, staffing levels. We generate a fully written, UK-compliant trampoline park risk assessment covering high-impact landings, foam pits, dodgeball courts and supervision requirements in minutes.
Used by trampoline park operators, adventure leisure venues and family entertainment centres across the UK
🤸 Running dodgeball courts or foam pits alongside free jump? Mention them — we'll include zone-specific segregation controls, spotter positioning and age or weight restrictions for each activity type.
Legal requirements for trampoline park operators
The Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 places a general duty on operators to ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, the safety of both staff and visiting members of the public. Trampoline parks fall squarely within this duty because of the high-impact, fast-moving nature of the activities on offer.
Regulation 3(1) of the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 requires every employer to carry out a suitable and sufficient risk assessment identifying the measures needed to comply with health and safety law. For a trampoline park this means separately assessing free jump areas, foam pits, dodgeball courts, battle beams and any inflatable or airbag zones — each of which presents a different injury profile. This is not optional guidance; it is a documented legal duty, and enforceable under UK health and safety law.
Where five or more people are employed, the significant findings of the assessment must be recorded in writing under Regulation 3(6) of the same regulations. Local authority licensing officers, insurers and industry bodies such as the International Association of Trampoline Parks all expect a written, activity-specific risk assessment to be available on site and reviewed regularly as layouts, staffing or equipment change.

What customers say
"Our licensing officer wanted zone-by-zone controls for the foam pit and dodgeball courts separately. Anyrisks broke it down exactly how we needed it, first time."
Craig M.
Trampoline park owner, Yorkshire
"We opened a second court and needed the assessment updated fast. Took less time than writing the staff rota that week."
Beth O.
Operations manager, family entertainment centre, North West
"Our insurer asked for documented spotter ratios on the airbag zone. It was already in the assessment we downloaded from Anyrisks."
Dean R.
Leisure venue director, South East

Frequently asked questions
Also see: The ultimate guide to risk assessment · Do I need a risk assessment · Risk assessment legal requirements · Risk assessment generator
Do trampoline parks need a written risk assessment by law?
Yes. Under Regulation 3(1) of the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999, every employer running a trampoline park must carry out and record a suitable and sufficient risk assessment covering all activities, including free jump, foam pits and dodgeball courts. This is separate from any insurance-required documentation and is a legal duty enforced by the HSE and local authorities.
What accident rate is typical for trampoline parks?
HSE and RoSPA data show trampoline parks have a materially higher injury rate than most other leisure activities, with ankle, wrist and neck injuries from awkward landings among the most commonly reported. This is why supervision ratios, court segregation and clear jumper briefings are central to any adequate risk assessment for this sector.
Does the assessment cover foam pits and airbags separately?
Yes. Foam pits and airbags carry distinct risks — including entrapment, incorrect landing technique and depth degradation over time — and are assessed as separate activity zones with their own controls, inspection frequency and exclusion rules for younger or smaller jumpers.
Are staff supervision ratios included?
Yes. Describe your court layout and typical footfall and the assessment will set out recommended court marshal ratios, spotter positioning for foam pits and dodgeball courts, and briefing procedures, in line with the duty under Regulation 3(1) of the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 to control foreseeable risks.
Does it cover equipment inspection and maintenance?
Yes. The assessment includes daily pre-opening checks, periodic bed and spring inspections, padding and netting condition checks, and a documented maintenance schedule — all of which support your defence in the event of an incident investigation or insurance claim.
Is this suitable for parks with dodgeball courts and slam dunk zones?
Yes. Tell us which activity zones your park operates — free jump, dodgeball, slam dunk, battle beam, foam pit — and the assessment will include zone-specific hazards, segregation controls and age or weight restrictions for each.
How is this different from a generic play centre risk assessment?
Trampoline parks involve high-impact landings, rebound forces and airborne collision risks that soft play and generic play centres do not. This assessment is written specifically around trampoline bed dynamics, court segregation and jumper conduct rules rather than adapted from a general play-centre template.
How long does it take to generate?
Under two minutes. Describe your park layout, activity zones and typical customer numbers, and Anyrisks produces a complete, regulation-referenced trampoline park risk assessment ready to download.
