In every corner of the city, public spaces carry people's expectations for leisure and joy. As a gathering point of urban vitality, it is crucial to learn how to create an ideal playground. If a playground is designed to be too large, it is easy to waste space. But if the playground is too small, it is easy to cause crowding in the playground and fail to meet the play needs and experience of a large number of people. The following will analyze how to accurately create a playground of appropriate size for tourists of different ages in a limited public space.
1.Understand the basics of playground dimensions
Amusement parks contain many different types of facilities, each with its own unique size requirements. For example, the length of a roller coaster track may vary from hundreds of meters to thousands of meters, and the height may reach tens or even hundreds of meters. The size of a single bumper car is relatively small, about 2-3 meters in length and 1.5-2 meters in width. When designing amusement park facilities, it is necessary to follow strict safety standards and consider whether the size of the facilities is ergonomic. At the same time, the basis of amusement park size design is the overall layout of the amusement park and the efficient use of the venue space. Some large amusement parks can be customized according to specific themes or site conditions, while small amusement park facilities can be concentrated in a relatively small area.
2.Why are playground dimensions important?
The reason why the size of an amusement park is important is that it is closely related to the experience, safety, and operational efficiency of visitors. A reasonable playground size can create a realistic theme scene and a dreamy atmosphere for children, making them feel as if they are in a fairy tale world. At the same time, a reasonable size design of amusement facilities can improve the comfort of tourists and leave enough space for them to move around. Oversized amusement facilities will also increase the construction and maintenance costs of the amusement park. Therefore, the size of the amusement park is very important in the planning of the amusement park.
3.How to find the right playground size
Children of different ages have different demands for space size and facilities. Young children have a smaller demand for play space. They generally play simple games in a warm and safe environment. Children have a larger demand for play space. They have higher requirements for play facilities and will try to play some complex and challenging projects. Playgrounds for older children or adults require larger venues and wider distances between facilities to meet their needs for activities and play projects. At the same time, it is also necessary to understand the number, scale, positioning and market saturation of existing local playgrounds, and attract specific target customer groups through differentiated competition.
4.Size design of small playground
The space of a small amusement park is relatively compact, generally ranging from a few hundred square meters to thousands of square meters. Usually, the amusement facilities are small in scale and are generally designed for infants, children and teenagers. The venue will be equipped with a small Ferris wheel and roller coaster, as well as a compact slide. There will also be a rest area to provide a place for amusement. At the same time, the size design of a small amusement park can be flexibly adjusted according to the actual shape and characteristics of the venue, and the layout and facility size of the amusement park can be temporarily adjusted according to different seasons or activity requirements. During holidays or special events, some parties and activities can also be held to create a strong festive atmosphere, so that tourists can feel satisfied and warm for these specialized services.
5.Size design of medium-sized playground
Medium-sized amusement parks usually cover an area of 10,000 to 50,000 square meters. The layout of the amusement facilities is relatively reasonable, and the amusement facilities in the park are relatively rich. Large amusement facilities include roller coasters, Ferris wheels, carousels and bumper cars. There are landscape viewing areas in the park, providing places for children and families to play and relax. There is a sufficient safe distance between the facilities and between the facilities and the boundaries of the medium-sized amusement park. There is also an independent dining area that provides a variety of dining options, which provides great convenience for tourists to travel and play.
6.Size design of Large playgrounds
Large amusement parks usually cover an area of more than 50,000 square meters, and can even reach hundreds of thousands of square meters. This large area of amusement parks can provide children and adults with a very diverse and open play space. Its overall layout is complex and detailed, and is often divided into multiple theme areas, such as the fairy tale world area, adventure park area, future technology area, etc. Each theme area has its own unique style and theme landscape. In addition, its functions are perfect. The amusement park has been carefully planned and designed in terms of facility configuration, queuing area design, and catering service capabilities, providing great convenience for tourists to play. At the same time, in addition to fun games, a large number of natural elements such as green plants, flowers, and water features will be configured, so that each area has a unique style and atmosphere, bringing tourists a rich and diverse visual enjoyment.

7.Make Smart Design Choices
When planning the size of an amusement park, you need to consider many factors comprehensively to make a wise choice. The following is a specific analysis.
Market positioning: Determine the main customer group for the amusement park. If children are the main target group, the overall size of the amusement park can be appropriately reduced, and the focus should be on planning amusement facilities and activity areas suitable for children. If it is a family-oriented amusement park, the play needs of people of different ages need to be fully considered.
Scale positioning: It is necessary to clarify whether to build a small community amusement park, a medium-sized regional amusement park, or a large comprehensive theme park. For amusement parks of different sizes, it is necessary to find a suitable amusement park and investigate the surrounding supporting facilities.
Types and scale of facilities: If you plan to introduce large amusement facilities such as large roller coasters and Ferris wheels, you need to reserve enough space and make a reasonable plan for the overall layout of the tourist park.
Topography: The terrain of the amusement park is flat, and the planning and layout of the amusement park will be relatively simple. If the terrain is complex, with hills, lakes, woods, etc., a water park can be built according to the characteristics of the terrain.
Capacity calculation: Calculate the maximum visitor capacity of the amusement park based on the number and scale of amusement facilities and the passenger capacity of each facility. Plan and prepare for the arrangement of personnel and the setting of venues.
Rest area: Generally speaking, the rest area should account for about 20% - 30% of the total area of the amusement park. The rest area can be set up at the amusement facilities and can be equipped with tables and chairs for tourists to rest.
Operational efficiency: Through market research and data analysis, consider the ticket revenue, catering and shopping revenue, operating costs of amusement facilities, employee wages and other factors of the amusement park to ensure that the scale of the amusement park can achieve profitability.
Dining area: According to the expected number of tourists and consumption needs of the amusement park, the area and location of the dining area should be reasonably planned. And provide a combination of different types of catering to meet the tastes and needs of different tourists.
Knowing the dimensions of specific playground equipment is essential to designing a functional and safe play area. By comprehensively evaluating the play group, the scale of the play facilities, the size of the playground, the equipment of the play facilities, the surrounding environment and other factors, it can help people better plan and layout.
