Custom Indoor Playground for Shopping Mall – 980sqm Anhui Case Study
Apr 30, 2026
Project Location: Shopping Mall in Wuhu, Anhui, China
Area: 980m2
For a 980 sqm space, if we had relied solely on standard templates, at least 15% of the space would be wasted. But at the Wuhu Silver InCity Mall in Anhui, we refused to do that.
From the very first day we received the inquiry, our design team immediately began working on the indoor playground design drawing. We then conducted an on-site survey and measurement together with the client, fine-tuning the design based on the actual dimensions. This fully demonstrates our custom indoor playground solution capabilities and prevents issues such as size discrepancies, space waste, or safety hazards during later installation.
Age-Appropriate Play Zones for 1-12 Years Old
The custom indoor playground design creates different play zones tailored to different age groups, allowing every child to find challenges and fun within their own "safe zone" that perfectly stimulates growth and enjoyment.
Big Kids Zone: Climbing Structures for Energy Release
The custom indoor playground equipment includes various climbing structures such as climbing walls and climbing nets. With appropriately increased difficulty, it effectively consumes the energy of older children while extending their stay time through moderate challenge.
High-Appeal Design: A Bright Color Scheme is used to visually enhance children's attraction and achieve Theme Cohesion.
Soft Edge & Rounded Corner Treatment:All play areas and equipment edges feature soft edging or rounded corners, with no sharp protrusions. This ensures safe use while also reducing on-site management difficulty.
Multi-Level Structure Zone
The Multi-Level Structure achieves efficient use of limited space while also bringing children a rich and three-dimensional play experience. The structure integrates Rainbow Slides, Spiral Slides, soft-covered steps, and various climbing structures to meet different levels of difficulty. Transparent acrylic panels are specially incorporated to allow parents to clearly observe their children moving flexibly inside the equipment from the outside.
This equipment is not only the core hub and visual landmark of the play area but also the key engine for increasing customer repeat visitation, enhancing competitiveness in the industry, and supporting reasonable pricing.
Role-Playing Area
Simulating real-world environments with high authenticity, this area provides children with immersive and imaginative play, promoting their cognitive development, language training, and social-emotional learning. This zone also serves as a transition area for children after high-intensity climbing, running, and jumping. After recovering their energy here, they can continue playing in other areas, extending the total stay. When children are immersed in role-playing games, parents can also truly relax, relieving supervision pressure.
Toddler Ball Pit Zone: Safe Exploration for Ages 1-4
The Toddler Ball Pit Zone is specially designed for children aged 1-4, offering a safe and independent soft play area. Grasping a ball can help develop tactile skills. Young children can explore safely in the soft ball pit without risk of injury. This zone is essential for attracting families with toddlers, making it a key entry point for the children's play center business.
As a leading manufacturer of custom indoor playground equipment for children, Cowboy Group always insist "In-House Manufacturing with Full-Chain Quality Control" as its core competitiveness. Our self-built large-scale modern production factory of 70,000+ SQM, ensures that all products are custom-produced in strict accordance with the provided design drawings. Our fully traceable quality management system meets international quality and safety standards, fundamentally guaranteeing product structural safety, non-toxicity (compliant with EN, ASTM and other international certifications), and long-term durability, providing soft play operators with a truly worry-free one-stop solution.
One-Stop Solutions with Professional Installation
Cowboy provides a one-stop indoor playground solution for children, covering the entire process from design and production to installation. With a professional and experienced installation team, we have successfully installed and delivered tens of thousands of projects.
Prior to this installation, based on the renderings and information provided by the construction team, we determined that additional load-bearing capacity and steel pipe structures would be needed at higher locations. Therefore, we communicated with the structural engineer in advance and made the necessary preparations. While reviewing the construction drawings, we discovered that the scaffolding had numerous staggered levels, with the highest level reaching 3.6 meters. This design increases the difficulty of installation; therefore, we anticipate needing to add several temporary workers during the later stages of construction to ensure the project's successful completion.
