With a 6meter ceiling height and 3,000㎡ of space, there was already a children's playground on the mall‘s third floor. The investor behind Extreme Cool Sports Factory chose not to follow the crowd and open another one. Instead, they targeted customers aged 5 and above. With over 30 sports attractions – from fun climbing and aerial challenges to TAG competitive games and a CS battle zone – the project was delivered in 70 days under an EPC turnkey model. This project proves: when everyone else is doing the same thing, differentiation is the greatest opportunity.

02. Project Background: Making a Different Choice Where a Playground Already Exists
【Explore the New Store】 A 2minute immersive experience at Lishui Extreme Cool Sports Factory!
Lishui Future City is a massive, fullconcept new lifestyle landmark in southern Lishui. Centered around keywords like “youth,” “fun,” and “quality,” it brings together highquality offerings such as experiential retail, sports, and children's activities, striving to create a fullservice trendy play and lifestyle destination focused on firsttomarket stores, strong experiences, and a night economy.
The site conditions were good: a ceiling height of 6–7.3 meters and 3,000㎡ of space. However, there was one critical piece of information: a children's playground had already opened on the mall's third floor.
Following the same model would mean competing in a red ocean. After conducting thorough market research, the Pokiddo team reached a different conclusion: this site was suitable for an indoor sports playground targeting customers aged 5 and above.
This positioning avoided direct competition with the existing children's playground while filling a gap in the market – giving “kids who have grown up” a place to keep playing.
When selecting equipment, the team followed three core principles:
Athletic Attributes: Choose equipment with a sports focus that offers challenge and can be progressed from easy to difficult.
Thrilling Yet Safe: Aerial attractions should be exciting, but both the experience and the landing must be completely safe.
Interactive + Competitive: Attractions should allow both solo play and team competition, ensuring fun and engagement.
Based on these three principles, the 3,000㎡ space brought together over 30 sports activities – from fun climbing and aerial challenges to colorful slides, shooting and archery, TAG competitive games, and a CS battle zone – each one designed to get the adrenaline pumping.
【Equipment + Environmental Renderings】
The design concept of Extreme Cool Sports Factory merges “sports” with “trendy culture.” This is not just a place to exercise; it is a space for young people to socialize, check in, and express themselves. The freedom of experience, driven by a sense of trendiness and creativity, delivers an immersive sensory journey – and that is exactly the attitude “Extreme Cool” aims to convey.
The Extreme Cool Sports Factory project adopted the EPC model, covering everything from business planning, design, and brand VIS to construction, equipment manufacturing and installation, and finally operations and maintenance – a fullservice, endtoend “turnkey” solution that saves the investor time and effort.
Early Stage: Business planning + design + brand VIS
Middle Stage: Construction + equipment manufacturing and installation
Late Stage: Onsite operational guidance + delivery
From order confirmation to the completion of construction, from equipment installation to handson operational training and final delivery, the total timeline was 70 days.
The project manager provided fulltime onsite supervision, strictly adhering to playground safety standards to ensure equipment quality and play safety, and delivered the project on schedule.
