Sports Hall Design
We are regularly asked by architects, end users, builders and others for assistance with the design of indoor sports facilities. We are always pleased to help. We have fitted out more sports halls than any other company in the UK and have a vast database of projects so it is likely we will have come across any issue, concern or situation with which you need assistance.

Setting up a trampoline park
Continental Sports is the UK’s largest manufacturer of equipment for gymnastics and trampolining, physical education, sports halls and trampoline parks. Trampoline parks have been increasingly popular in the USA for the past few years and have been experiencing huge growth in the UK and Europe. A trampoline park consists of a large number of trampolines with padding between and around them and incorporates various "Zones" to allow for different bouncing activities. At Continental we have leveraged our experience of more than 50 years of manufacturing and installing gymnastics and trampolining equipment to develop a modular system for trampoline parks. We are regularly approached by potential customers asking for advice on how to set up their own trampoline park so we have compiled the most frequently asked questions here. After reading this document if you would like to discuss your project further or have questions that are not answered here, please call us for a discussion or to arrange to visit our designers, estimators and technical sales team.
